New York Times Bestselling Author Dan Pink joins Hilary to share tips on optimizing your day while working from home in the age of social distancing, the recipe for the perfect nap, and the key to taking breaks that most people totally miss. 

Hustle Hack: Be intentional with your schedule and your environment. I was so inspired that Dan literally leaves his phone in another building. He doesn’t use his writing computer for social media. He expects discipline to come difficult so he helps himself out by optimizing his environment.  

Moment of Grace: Take scheduled breaks. It’s not enough to just say you’re going to take breaks. Make sure those breaks are meaningful. Get outside. Spend a break with another human if you can. And honor it like you would a meeting with someone else.
