Have you ever seen that commercial for Pepsi- what other youthful thing would you want to experience? The guy in the commercial says- recess. The commercial continues to show a silly vignette of what recess on wall street would actually look like- but I've been thinking about it and for the average WAHM with preschoolers at home I say this isn't a bad idea. What if you could work but schedule in 15- 20 minute recess breaks during the day where you would take your kids outside for a short walk or play in the yard, do yoga in the livingroom, but promptly return to work at the end of the predetermined time. Do you think your kids would appreciate short frequent breaks versus fewer longer breaks? Personally I've been trying to work mornings but play afternoons or vice versa, but I'm rethinking that strategy and I'm thinking that my day would not only be more productive with the recess plan, but my kids would probably appreciate it more too......
