A little preparation before a long weekend may make your return to an abbreviated week at the office that much easier. Put productivity apps and organizing strategies to use to set reasonable expectations for returning messages and prioritizing projects while you are way. Putting a system in place beforehand makes it possible for you to unplug and be present on your next well deserved break.
Key Takeaways:
- Organizing a reasonable to-do list and actually putting it on paper is very important and will greatly increase visibility and track progress.
- Burn out can end up becoming a “snare” in a productive life. Hard work is absolutely necessary but you don’t want to overdo it and end up doing more harm to your overall success picture.
- To piggyback off of #1, organization is the main key to not becoming overwhelmed or allowing responsibilities to drop off of the radar. If we let something slip it becomes a friction point which causes stress. Organization is key.
“My method for not burning out over the course of the workday is slightly different but still effective: I downloaded an app called Daily Water that reminds me to drink a glass of water once per hour. When the reminder goes off, I get up from my desk, drink water, and walk around. Taking regular breaks achieves greater productivity than working nonstop, and so do drinking water and exercise. Here’s what my hydration break schedule looks like”
