We are taught and believe that "serious" results come from sitting at our desks, but actually getting out of the office is more productive. Researchers have found that walking isn't just a way to exercise or relax, it can also boost creativity, boost your mood, and generate new ideas. If you've been sitting at your desk, constantly distracted by emails and colleagues, take a walk to help you focus better. When walking alone, you can rehearse a speech, mentally prepare for a difficult meeting, or think deeply about a tough question. Walking is also a good time for a professional mind-to-heart, because the conversation is less rigid and more real when walking together. You'll also find that a change of scenery during a walk stimulates your mind more effectively than a whiteboard, so when you need to solve a problem, try going out for a walk!
