47 years ago tonight I waited up until midnight on a hot Chicago night to see a man walk on the moon on a black-and-white TV. As cool as that was I still don’t know if that was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s the device that I hold in my hand right now. Maybe it was seeing the birth of five sons. I don’t know but it’s hard to let a moment like this pass without at least a nod to Neil Armstrong.

There’s a boatload of research that proves that being outside in nature improves your mental clarity and health. The reason is almost too obvious to even write, but here goes: Hanging in the great outdoors refreshes your senses in a way that no stale-air office ever can. The latest evidence: In a new study published in the journal Environmental Psychology, researchers found that people who simply looked at a photo of nature for only 40 seconds had improved focus and relieve stress. That’s right, they didn’t even need to go outside! (Though clearly, the effect still applies if you do.) A micro-break viewing a green, but not concrete roof city scene, can sustain attention and restore the good mental condition. Your mission: Set a timer of 40s to take a break. Finish all the green nature pictures below, or even pick the one you like to set as the desktop wallpaper.
