Several years ago I read “Slack:  Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency” by expert computer scientist Tom DeMarco.  It reminded me that the times when I was more innovative were also characterized by times of having slack in my schedule to be influenced by new sources and different thinking.  A recent Opinion page in the New York Times summarizes research on the value of relaxing to be more productive – relaxing to be better at your work.  In my case, my work is innovation and I know relaxing and creating slack is helpful.  Take a moment to “relax” and review the New York Times article.
