Walking for creativity and productivity

Overview

Research indicates that walking can stimulate creativity by more than half. In a professional context, walking meetings are being highlighted as a method to increase workplace productivity and innovation.

By activating the brain’s ‘default mode’, light and steady movement provides new impulses that may improve thinking. These benefits can persist after a person returns to their desk. Furthermore, walking meetings may help reduce professional hierarchies and barriers between colleagues. For optimal results, a slow walking pace is recommended to ensure concentration remains on the meeting rather than physical exertion.
