Our productivity at work is often measured through how much we achieve, and rarely through the quality of our thinking. Without great thoughts, it's hard to achieve great work.

Times of extreme stress or change can impact upon our perspective, resulting in us often seeing threats that may or may not be present. We cannot always trust our senses as the amygdala goes into overdrive causing us to emotionally react. Taking time to think allows us to challenge our beliefs and assumptions about what we thought might have happened versus what actually happened. It can reduce our stress levels and allow us to take learning allowing us to make better decisions going forward.
