I am a great lover of fruit (you could delete ´of fruit´ if you wanted to…) and one of my pet peeves is that when you buy it from the supermarket it is either rock hard or going over, with no in between. So, you buy it hard and ripen it but by the time you get to eat it the juice has ´gone´ and its dry.

 
Recently, my intrepid web developer Andy and I changed our morning practise. We´ve taken to walking to the MacDonalds in Asda just before they stop doing breakfasts and acquiring some very awesome coffee and a McThingy with sausages, egg and something resembling cheese in it. This aside, the behavioural change has created some unexpected advantages:
 

• we tend to get some sales type work done before we go, so the day is always producing business (even whilst we drink coffee)


• the coffee break allows us to discuss strategy and action plans away from the distraction of the office


• the walk to Asda acts as essential exercise, helping oxygen to the brain and actually getting us off our otherwise stationary backsides


• I get to purchase fruit every day, allowing me to pick what´s perfect without having to buy it to ripen

The learning point here is that a seemingly simple behavioural change can often make a significant difference to working output when you put all the bits together. We´re more relaxed too!
