Hi there, Reader! Have you restarted your phone in the last week?

I know, it seems like that question is coming from way out in left field. But stick with me on this ...

It's recommended that phones and other gadgets be restarted once a week to keep them working as efficiently as possible. Specifically, restarting does the following:

  • Resolve glitches
  • Clear temporary memory
  • Refresh the system
  • Reset settings
  • Install updates

The natural computer between our ears also benefits from regular resets. And that's why I'm sharing today's video and the advice on resetting our brains from Dr. Aditi Nerurkar.

Watch the short video for more details, but here are her tips for resetting:

  1. Stop-Breathe-Be to ground yourself and stay in the present moment.
  2. Monotask to actually get MORE done faster.
  3. Employ the Rule of 2 to stay focused on what's most important.
  4. Set Phone to Grayscale to manage and avoid visual over-stimulation.

Resetting your brain with these simple tips will not only help you have less stress, it also will help you be more productive and ... dare I say? ... happier in your everyday life.
