The Solution
- Recognize and know that you are in ”the stupid zone”
- Pause. Just sit. Stop, before leaving your environment. If you can’t sit still for a minute, you don’t have the time not to!

- Don’t make decisions or do anything when in the stupid zone. For example, don’t sign a contract or drive.
