Hey there! Hope you are having a great and productive work week :) A personal question here (and why not a book recommendation thread):
Which are the books that changed your mindset / broadened your perspective and why? As for me, I couldn't choose only one (because I believe every book I read gave me a small mindset change). However, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks changed the way I think about race, gender, ethics, and the scientific and medical system. Feel free to share as many books as you'd like and on any topic!
I'm working in the tech for 12+years, mostly remote and being productive has always been an issue. From my experience what works the most is: - Define precisely my tasks, and keep it as small as possible (1h max)
- Work with 100% on this tasks
- Take regular breaks - and stop working after 4/5hrs of deep focus
- Sleep and eat well I keep all tasks in a bullet journal, it's not perfect but I haven't found a better way to do it.
(I'm building in public one product to solve this right now. Not sure how efficient it will be ) What about you? What worked for you? How about
Hey hunters! Being involved in work for a long period of time leads to feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. But for our physical and mental well-being it is vital to take a few minutes each day to recharge our batteries to find the energy to get on with whatever lies ahead. Personally, I prefer taking a short walk with music. And how do you recharge your batteries to stay productive?

Trying to get a more "designer" mindset on some things if that makes sense and would love to get peoples recommendations on books and learning resources that shaped their way of thinking about design.
