Today I joined #BikeToWhateverDay, and pedaling around with a bunch of strangers reminded me of a little list I’ve been trying with my team for the last two years. Nothing fancy, which is kind of the point.
- Make it easy to bike to work. Good for the planet, and the endorphins do more for mood and focus than a third coffee.
- Longer lunches, with a walk in them. A short walk after eating keeps the insulin spike down and the afternoon from turning into a nap.
- Time outside. Nature lowers the stress, and somehow the best ideas show up when you’re away from the screen.
No gimmick or productivity app does better than that.
Thanks to Bike East Bay for organizing the day, and to the people I met along the way from GU Energy Labs, Backroads and Sustainable Contra Costa.
Now close the laptop and go outside for a bit. See you on the bike lane 🚴
