Now, one sage rule I was told a dozen years ago is one you might consider as well. An extremely busy and productive engineering head I knew, the type that has people queued up in his office to talk to him through-out his work day, once told me:

“Never work a full day. Always work two half days”

You see, at 12:00 everyday he bolted from his office changed into a cycling kit and hit the road for 45 minutes, back at his desk to field the queue by 1:05.

cheers
