You don't move much
If you work remotely and in the evening rest, lying on the couch, you may notice a decline in productivity.
What to do
Include exercise in your daily schedule.
tip
You think too much and analyze
Remember how often you don't do something because you're worried about the opinions of others.
What to do
Bring your thoughts in order and relax helps a few ways.
- Meditation. It has no magical and magical properties, it's just training of attention, which is easy to perform. Sit straight and focus on your breath: slowly inhale and exhale. Think only of the air movement or repeat to yourself an inspiring phrase, such as "I can do anything," "I deserve success" or something like that. If you go wrong and start thinking about something else, stop and focus on your breath again.
- Mindfulness practice. Notice your obsessions and transform them into tasks. For example, if you think, "How could I have made such a trivial mistake ?"
- Distraction. We noticed that obsessive thoughts interfere with work - take a break for 2-3 minutes. At this time, solve a few puzzles, collect a puzzle or place the books on the shelf in alphabetical order - do a task that requires maximum concentration.
- Stop-phrases. Come up with expressions that will help fight negative attitudes. For example, "I try" or "I can do anything." Remember them when you start analyzing your failures again.
- Diary. Splash out all the experiences on paper - it will allow you to forget about them at least for a while.
tip
You eat wrong
If you often can't concentrate, constantly feel tired or sad, start to memorize information worse, and have difficulty controlling your emotions, you may be eating.
What to do
Giving up sugar is not necessary, but candy and cookies should not replace a full meal.
- For men: 5 q (10 q weight) (6.25 q height )) (5 years)
- For women: (10 q weight) (6.25 q height ) (5 years) - 161.
tip
You lack inspiration
You don't know where to get ideas from, everything seems too mundane and uninteresting.
What to do
You're inspired by watching cool videos and lectures, such as TED, or doing simple exercises.
- Freewriting. Take a clean sheet. Write a question you're concerned about from above or a topic you want to talk about. And now for 5-15 minutes just write everything that comes to your mind. The main thing at this time is to follow six rules: not to make extra effort; Write fast and continuously. Write the way you think; Don't go beyond time limits. Develop the thought; change the orientation of attention. After you've finished writing, take seven minutes off. Then reread and look for interesting thoughts in the text.
- Neurographics. We're going to need some paper here, too. But now it is necessary not to write, and to draw an abstract picture. Take a pen, pencil or marker and drive on a sheet in any direction, without thinking or analyzing. What will happen in the end - a beautiful picture or just a feces-little - not so important. Neurographics is a meditation on paper that helps you calm down, gather your thoughts and find inspiration.
- Look for new things in ordinary items. Take a few unrelated things and add up a composition from them. Set aside a maximum of 10 minutes for this. So you look at ordinary items from the other side.
tip
You have a mess on your desktop
If you're sitting at a table right now, look around.
What to do
Pick up on the table and organize the space so that it helps you work, not the other way around.
- If you spend a lot of time at your computer, move the monitor 43 to 45 cm away from you .
- Often used items, such as a pen or smartphone, put next to the dominant hand - so do not have to reach for them.
- Remove unnecessary stationery into the closet, leave only what you really use.
- Don't overdo it with personal belongings
- Leave an empty room for paperwork
Try not to eat at the desk: not only can you sin or soil something important, and also mix work with rest.
tip
You are constantly busy with something
If you don't work, you sit on social media, read books, watch videos, tv-series, or movies.
What to do
Arrange a digital detox at the weekend: set aside all the devices, but the smartphone in air mode or turn it off altogether so that notifications do not distract you.
If you don't have enough for such feats, try the "nothing to do" method.
tip
You lack vitamins and minerals
If you don't follow the balance of the diet, you may not get enough useful elements.
What to do
If you feel lethargic and can't make yourself work, you may be missing one of the elements that affect productivity:
- Omega-3. Fatty acids improve metabolism
