I don’t do this enough, nor do I take it serious enough. We need to embrace it individually, as well as socially. We like to think we do it collaboratively during timed meetings with agendas, but sometimes it’s best to grab one other person and take a walk. For some alone time - pack your lunch and go to the nearest park. If it’s cold outside, head to any quasi-quiet establishment with a bar - coffee bar preferable! Me, sometimes I just take some solitude at Fred’s Breakfast - with a side of freshly squeezed OJ.
