Insights Unlocked · How to rethink creative productivity without burning out with Natalie Nixon · 2 Feb 2026 podcast

We actually are not doing our best thinking because when we sit cramped over, blood flow gets restricted to the brain.

And if there's less blood flow, there's less oxygen to the brain, which means we're not doing our better thinking.

So movement hygiene is integrating movement and how you run a meeting.

The Navy...

has run standing meetings for years.

And by the way, the Navy's SEALs are famous for having said that slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

So the ability to slow down is actually advantageous because when we slow down, we zoom out.

But the movement part of the operating systems at Movement Hygiene, the thinking part is really about valuing what I call backcasting and forecasting.

So backcasting is about memory, reflection,

Metacognition, why do I think the way I think?

Forecasting is about inspiration, curiosity, dreaming, daydreaming.

When I talk about thinking in the move, think, rest operating system, I'm talking about backcasting and forecasting.

So backcasting is about reflection and memory and metacognition.

Why do I think the way I think about X, Y, Z?

Forecasting is about

Daydreaming, dreaming, imagination, inspiration.

And if you notice, those modalities of thought, backcasting and forecasting, requires to slow down.

And they're actually essential for that super sharp, rational, cognitive decision-making that we all long for, that we're rewarded for, that gets incentivized.

So a lot of what I write about Move, Think, Rest is shifting around the way we think about incentivization plans, around our KPIs, around ways to operationalize, institutionalize, and integrate these different modalities of working.

The rest piece is about intermittent rest.
