A Quiet Week, but a Busy Café…

It’s been a calm week on the workspace front, but the café has been buzzing with the smell of fresh coffee and cake. There’s something special about seeing people pause for a slice of something sweet and a moment of conversation before heading back into their day.

So, while the team enjoys this slower rhythm, we thought we’d share a few little things to keep your ideas flowing and your focus sharp.

What We’re Listening To

“The Accidental Creative” – How to Build Rhythms That Spark Ideas

This episode explores how simple daily habits - like changing your workspace or introducing intentional breaks - can unlock creative thinking. Perfect for freelancers and small teams who want to avoid burnout and keep ideas flowing.

A Quick Reset Habit

Try this 5-4-3-2-1 reset exercise when your brain feels fried:
5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, 1 deep breath to finish.

It’s a simple mindfulness trick that helps ground you, lower stress, and refocus - ideal between Zoom calls or before diving into something new.

Productivity Tip of the Week: The Two-Minute Rule

Feeling overwhelmed by small tasks piling up? Try the Two-Minute Rule from productivity expert David Allen.

If something takes less than two minutes - replying to an email, filing a document, booking a meeting - do it straight away. It clears mental clutter and builds momentum for the bigger things.

Want to explore more? Allen’s Getting Things Done framework is a great way to organise your thoughts and tame that to-do list.

Quote of the week

“It’s not always that we need to do more but rather that we need to focus on less.”
