Timing can affecthow well you performspecific types of work.
Similarly, your environment can have an impact on certain tasks, too.
For work that requires brainstorming, consider getting up from your desk.
Some tasks are action-driven, while others require conceptual thinking.
Being close to your work engages the doing system.
When you are far from it, you think about it more conceptually.
Distance engages the thinking system.

When I’m brainstorming, I sometimes get up and walk around, instinctively.
Knowing that it actually serves a purpose can help you take advantage of it for optimizing tasks.
