5 tips for a more efficient workday

Create checklists of what needs to be done during the day. Feel free to color code them for a fun touch!

• We’ve noticed that it’s easier to get things done when we write down a list of tasks for the day that you can check off as you go. It’s even more enjoyable when you use different colored pens!

Take a short break when you feel the need – consider going for a short walk and treat yourself to some fresh air.

• Taking short breaks regularly helps you refocus, and fresh air gives you that extra boost of energy you need.

Remember to prioritize correctly and tackle one thing at a time to avoid unnecessary stress.

• If you have many tasks at hand and find it difficult to complete them because you tend to start something new before finishing the most important tasks, we’ll circle back to point 1: write down what needs to be done, with the most crucial tasks at the top. If it’s not urgent, set it aside and focus on what must be done. You can come back to it later or the next day. While some people thrive under pressure, sometimes you need to prioritize correctly to avoid unnecessary stress.

Have a substantial breakfast and a good lunch, and don’t forget a healthy snack.

• They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and we’re inclined to agree. A nutritious breakfast provides you with the energy and strength you need for the day’s tasks. Remember to have a good lunch and perhaps a snack to maintain your energy and focus during the workday.

Leave work at work so you have time to refocus and replenish your energy for a new day!

• Many people struggle to leave work at the workplace and end up bringing it home. Try to leave your work mindset at the office and focus on yourself and your loved ones. Gather new strength and energy by doing things that make you feel good, whether it’s exercising, spending time with friends and family, or just relaxing on the couch watching a good series.
