Three priorities up. The lessons learnt from the networking lunch with Moa Westman were about something we all know but rarely do: actually nurturing your attention as the limited resource it is.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 17 April, we hosted <strong>Moa Westman<\/strong>, founder and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mowesinorrland.se\/\">Mowes in Norrland<\/a>, eXpression Ume\u00e5 for a networking lunch on sustainability and creativity. During the lunch, she shared principles on how we as self-employed people can create better conditions for focus and perseverance in everyday life. Here are three of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nurture your attention<\/strong><br>We take in huge amounts of information every second, and consciously we can handle a fraction of it. Notifications, open tabs and the phone on the table drain that capacity without us realising it. Ultimately, it's about having energy left when needed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How you start your day matters<\/strong><br>How the morning starts sets the tone for the rest of the day. Waking up and going straight into emails and notifications means setting a high level of activation early on that goes with it. It doesn't have to be meditation or a one-hour routine - the point is to give the morning some space before the outside world takes over.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Plan your recovery, not just your work<\/strong><br>Recovery rarely happens by itself. It needs to be planned in the same way as meetings and deadlines - in the form of breaks, exercise or a conscious end to the working day. Ending on a positive note makes it easier to actually leave work mentally at the end of the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The networking lunch was organised by eXpression Ume\u00e5 within the framework of Kreativa Norrland, in collaboration with RISE and the Ume\u00e5 region, co-funded by the European Union.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phone down.
