A walk without input

No podcast, no music, no phone. Fifteen minutes of your own thinking.

How to do it

  1. Leave your headphones behind and walk in one direction for seven minutes.

  2. Let the first few minutes be uncomfortable — that part passes.

  3. Notice three things you have walked past before without seeing.

  4. Turn around and come back.

Some thoughts only arrive when nothing is being played over them.
