Episode 10 - Plan to get down

This week we consider the idea that planning to do nothing helps you do more. It seems weird, but there is research showing that if you achieve 'down-time', you actually get better at doing stuff. Well, we're gonna be all over something that involves being BETTER, aren't we? So, continuing the theme of 'me-time' we look at apps and online resource to help you do just that.
