    I can totally relate. When I have a super hectic day, especially when it involves lots of correspondence across multiple projects, I find leaving the office and going for a walk to help quite a bit.

    Sometimes I go for a coffee away from the office, other times I just take a stroll up around the block. Definitely makes a difference and helps with the focus. 🙂
