The importance of "down time"
I am not sure that Sheldon Cooper should be considered as a useful source of advice, either personal or scientific [he is a string theorist!]. Nevertheless, the clip below shows he does understand the importance of "down time", particularly for introverts.
This is something that it took me too many years to learn.
I think the need for this quiet time is particularly true at busy meetings or during times of intense research.

very true!
ReplyDeleteindeed during PhD I exercised bouncing a small soccer ball and counting in my office. Never reached 43 anyway. Not even 20 I'd say... but it was a good "down time".

Very nice clip and post ... reminds me of a memorable poem we had in school about leisure that I thought I'd share: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_(poem)
