I've been thinking a lot about incorporating mindfulness / wellness into my work goals this year. Has anyone done this or have any tips?

[Alexa Carter @libalchemy]

I’ve been working on my laptop all day w/o charging it. As the clock strikes 5 PM (end of the work day/week) and I attempt to open another tab to get *just 1 last thing* done, my computer dies. SOOOOO....IS THIS WHAT DIVINE INTERVENTION FEELS LIKE??!?
