Smear charcoal onto your nose, six year olds on your back and crawl around in muddy stream-water with your clothes on. Pretend to be a crocodile. Use your arms for jaws, make water slides out of muddy banks, let children decorate your body with clay and mud, disappear under the murky water and rise up roaring. Do this every other day.
More Productivity + More Quality
Split your remaining free-time three ways. 1) Socialize with other closet crocodiles by waterfalls, muddy stream banks and campfires. 2) Crawl through local streams on your hands. Be silent. Stalk birds, fish and turtles. Get to know your local flora and fauna. 3) Do your work.
Spend less time at your computer
If you’re limiting the time you spend on your computer you will skip over the tasks you don’t actually need to do and you’ll focus more (and move more quickly) through the tasks you do need to do.
Spend more time with children
Smile, laugh, play! Be energized, be graceful, be silly, be yourself. Be creative, take risks. Time with kids is great because it’s also time in your heart, time in your body, and time in your mind.
When I’m with kids I’m running around, picking things (often children) up, I’m engaging my body. I’m also opening my heart, expressing and receiving love and affection, and being put into states of awe and appreciation.
Do the activities that make you feel alive, in your purpose and happy
Listen to the still, small voice inside you. Trust yourself. Experiment with your time in this life. Do things you haven’t done before. Allow your child-passion to reign free.

Spend time with other people who also enjoy what you do.

If you’re happy everything you do will be better.
Apparently I do my best work with grey-stream-clay still caked to my calves, black charcoal marks left on my nose and forehead and a gritty, salty mix of sweat, dirt and dried stream water covering the rest of my body.
