]]> Staying productive at work can sometimes be a real challenge, especially for people who work from home. Check out this list of amazing products that can help you be more productive at work.

Back Cushion

For those who need to sit long hours at work, this cushion can be a life-saver! It supports your spine and it improves posture, so you won’t have to deal with that horrible back pain anymore and you can focus on your work.

A Monthly Planner

Organization is the key to productivity. Good organization can save you a lot of time and effort, and the best way to organize your time is to get one of these cute planners.

Balance Ball Chair

This balance ball chair is another great thing for reducing back pain and improving posture for people who sit all day at work. Exercise ball engages core muscles and decreases discomfort in the back, making you ultimately more productive at work.

Mesh Organizer

Keeping your office table organized is the most important thing if you want to be productive at work. This mesh organizer is great for storing all your important documents in one place.

Are you an organized learner or a procrastinating one? 🙈😂 . . . I am more of a procrastinator myself since I tend to do most things last minute! BUT I've been trying HARD to work on fixing it and it's been working out well for me. It just makes more sense to start doing things early on and slowly making progress so there's enough time to actually improve or fix things in the end in case I need to. Prioritize. Prioritize. . . . Seems like instant gratification has been one of my main weaknesses when it comes to getting any "work" done. There are innumerable articles online regarding ways to combat this but for me it's the Pomodoro technique. . . . The technique goes like this: you get started to matter what, give yourself no alternatives, and you are in the zone before you know it! And when it's time for a break, you reward yourself by checking your phone, watching some short videos, or reading a few pages of your book (whatever you enjoy). Literally anything you find relaxing. But when the break ends, no matter what, you gotta get back to work. The app I use for timing my pomodoro sessions is @forest_app 🌲🤗

50 Minutes or Less

If you have a ton of work to finish, don’t forget to take breaks at least every 50 minutes. Otherwise, you’ll quickly lose focus and concentration needed to work on the task.

80/20 – Pareto Principle

Depending on the task, sometimes you’ll be able to finish 80% of work in 20% of the time so utilize that whenever you can.

Forget About Multitasking

There’s no way you can focus on two or more things at the same time. Multitasking will only slow you down and increase the chance of mistakes.

Use a Notebook

Using pen and paper to write things down will help you remember them, unlike typing the same info on your laptop.

Productive Commute

If you spend a certain amount of time commuting to and from work every day, find interesting and useful podcasts to listen to or just read a book (if you’re not the one driving).

Know What to Ignore

You can’t do it all — at least not at the same time. Setting priorities and focusing on them, ignoring everything else at the same time, is the key.

Measure Progress But Don’t Be Obsessive

It can be useful to measure your progress and see where you can improve the metrics, especially in the beginning, but don’t focus on it too much and sacrifice the quality of your work.

]]> Summer is the best season mostly because we associate it with great weather, beach, and vacation. Still, most of us can’t afford to be lazy or go to the beach every day, even though these summer heats can be pretty distracting and exhausting. Here are some tips on how to be productive during these hot summer days.

Wake up early

Hang on, that doesn’t sound right. Waking up earlier during summer sounds unreasonable, but it’s the first step to being productive throughout the day. You’d be amazed at what you can achieve when you get that extra time, but first, don’t forget to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzjGmMZl4s6/

Spend more time outside

Even when you have a lot of work to do, you can always spend your lunch break outside instead of your office. Spending at least half an hour outside will refresh you and give you more energy to keep on working later.

Get organized

Good organization is the key to being productive. Make a list of things you want to achieve during summer, movies you want to watch and places you want to visit. Be reasonable when setting these goals and don’t be discouraged if you don’t succeed in everything. 

Multitask

Multitasking is a great skill that may sound stressful, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We all have some boring tasks to complete every day and you can always make them more interesting by doing something you like. Read a book on your way to work, listen to audiobooks while running or watch movies while doing laundry. You’ll have fun and end up doing more work than planned.

]]> If you want a less stressful and more productive life, one key thing you need is an efficient morning routine. Snoozing your alarm several times and rushing to get dressed and get out is not a good way to start your days.

Here are a few morning habits to adopt if you want to be more successful and accomplish more things.

No Snoozing

You don’t need to mess up your sleep patterns by hitting the snooze button in the morning; you know that it doesn’t help you get more rest. Do what you got to do to get up with the first alarm, even if that means leaving your phone across the room to make you get up to turn it off.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is a fuel that will keep you going at an optimal pace. If you don’t have time for a proper breakfast, even a banana or a smoothie on the go can do the trick.

Hydrate

You’ve been sleeping for around 8 hours (hopefully!), so it’s important to drink some water to hydrate your body the first thing in the morning. It will wake you up better than a coffee would!

]]> If you’re experiencing energy level drop during your workday afternoons, you know that dealing with it is not easy. Coffee often doesn’t help, but there are things you can do that will help you get through the day and be more productive and focused.

The condition is known as brain fog and you’re not alone in experiencing it. It’s actually quite common to start feeling tired and unfocused after lunch and there are two things that can help you overcome it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzHW9B5n0de/

The first one is getting enough sleep the night before. When you’re well-rested, you’ll handle the daily stress much better and it won’t tire you so fast.

The other one is especially important if you’re doing a repetitive job that wears down your brain. You should include a creative activity into your days that will help wake you up and keep you alert until your job is done.

How do you deal with afternoon slump?

Monday Morning Ritual

Monday mornings are perfect for treating yourself to your favorite ice coffee on the way to work or a walk before entering the office. Do what you love and make it a ritual so you’ll start looking forward to it.

Use Commute Time Wisely

On Sunday evening, prepare something to listen or read during your Monday morning commute and you’ll feel great for thinking of your Monday morning self in advance.

Dress Up

Don’t underestimate the effect a great outfit can have on your confidence! If your job allows you casual or semi-casual attire, make an extra effort on Monday and nothing will stop you from being your most productive self.

A post shared by Gentle reminders (@littlearthlings) on

Better Communication

It’s worth celebrating if your communication with your loved ones has improved. Regularly calling your parents or checking up on friends is not something that’s implied.

Productivity Routines

Have you successfully developed a morning or evening routine that helps you stay accountable? Celebrate it! Don’t think it’s trivial or not important enough.

Less Time on the Phone

Screen addiction is real and we salute you if you’ve gained control over it. You deserve a treat for that.

Learning New Things

It is so important to continue learning and growing once we’re out of school and not everybody does this. Well done!

Tackling Clutter

If you’re successfully throwing trash out of your life, don’t think that it shouldn’t be celebrated. It’s so liberating and important to do it!

]]> Who wouldn’t want to be more productive, right? And yet, we often find ourselves procrastinating when we should really be working on that important assignment. It’s like the brain refuses to cooperate and it can be so frustrating.

Here are our best productivity tips you can try this week.

Batching

Do all of the same tasks in one batch before moving to another type of task. This seems simple but works incredibly well and allows you to focus better.

Stay Away From Social Media

Use specialized apps to help you with this if you’re struggling. While they certainly have some benefits, social networks are today’s no. 1 killer of productivity.

Work With Someone

You’ll be less likely to stall if there’s another person working with you, so collaborate with a coworker when possible.

Prioritize

You have probably put more things on your to-do list than you can handle, so it’s important to prioritize and get the most important jobs done first.

Don’t think that adding a few extra steps will leave you with less time to finish everything. Instead, a morning routine will give you time to organize and prepare to slay during the day.

Stretch

Start each day by stretching before you even get out of the bed. It will wake up your body and sharpen you mind.

Veggies for Breakfast

Make sure you eat right for breakfast and do it first thing in the morning so you can cross it off of your to-do list. A veggie smoothie is an easy way to get all the needed nutrients.

]]> Summer is the best season mostly because we associate it with great weather, beach, and vacation. Still, most of us can’t afford to be lazy or go to the beach every day, even though these summer heats can be pretty distracting and exhausting. Here are some tips on how to be productive during these hot summer days.

Wake up early

Hang on, that doesn’t sound right. Waking up earlier during summer sounds unreasonable, but it’s the first step to being productive throughout the day. You’d be amazed at what you can achieve when you get that extra time, but first, don’t forget to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise.

Spend more time outside

Even when you have a lot of work to do, you can always spend your lunch break outside instead of your office. Spending at least half an hour outside will refresh you and give you more energy to keep on working later.

Get organized

Good organization is the key to being productive. Make a list of things you want to achieve during summer, movies you want to watch and places you want to visit. Be reasonable when setting these goals and don’t be discouraged if you don’t succeed in everything. 

Multitask

Multitasking is a great skill that may sound stressful, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We all have some boring tasks to complete every day and you can always make them more interesting by doing something you like. Read a book on your way to work, listen to audiobooks while running or watch movies while doing laundry. You’ll have fun and end up doing more work than planned.

]]> If you want a less stressful and more productive life, one key thing you need is an efficient morning routine. Snoozing your alarm several times and rushing to get dressed and get out is not a good way to start your days.

Here are a few morning habits to adopt if you want to be more successful and accomplish more things.

No Snoozing

You don’t need to mess up your sleep patterns by hitting the snooze button in the morning; you know that it doesn’t help you get more rest. Do what you got to do to get up with the first alarm, even if that means leaving your phone across the room to make you get up to turn it off.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is a fuel that will keep you going at an optimal pace. If you don’t have time for a proper breakfast, even a banana or a smoothie on the go can do the trick.

Hydrate

You’ve been sleeping for around 8 hours (hopefully!), so it’s important to drink some water to hydrate your body the first thing in the morning. It will wake you up better than a coffee would!

]]> If you’re experiencing energy level drop during your workday afternoons, you know that dealing with it is not easy. Coffee often doesn’t help, but there are things you can do that will help you get through the day and be more productive and focused.

The condition is known as brain fog and you’re not alone in experiencing it. It’s actually quite common to start feeling tired and unfocused after lunch and there are two things that can help you overcome it.

The first one is getting enough sleep the night before. When you’re well-rested, you’ll handle the daily stress much better and it won’t tire you so fast.

The other one is especially important if you’re doing a repetitive job that wears down your brain. You should include a creative activity into your days that will help wake you up and keep you alert until your job is done.

How do you deal with afternoon slump?

Monday Morning Ritual

Monday mornings are perfect for treating yourself to your favorite ice coffee on the way to work or a walk before entering the office. Do what you love and make it a ritual so you’ll start looking forward to it.

Use Commute Time Wisely

On Sunday evening, prepare something to listen or read during your Monday morning commute and you’ll feel great for thinking of your Monday morning self in advance.

Dress Up

Don’t underestimate the effect a great outfit can have on your confidence! If your job allows you casual or semi-casual attire, make an extra effort on Monday and nothing will stop you from being your most productive self.

Hi friends 👋🏻 just the gentlest reminder for you ❤

Better Communication

It’s worth celebrating if your communication with your loved ones has improved. Regularly calling your parents or checking up on friends is not something that’s implied.

Productivity Routines

Have you successfully developed a morning or evening routine that helps you stay accountable? Celebrate it! Don’t think it’s trivial or not important enough.

Less Time on the Phone

Screen addiction is real and we salute you if you’ve gained control over it. You deserve a treat for that.

Learning New Things

It is so important to continue learning and growing once we’re out of school and not everybody does this. Well done!

Tackling Clutter

If you’re successfully throwing trash out of your life, don’t think that it shouldn’t be celebrated. It’s so liberating and important to do it!

]]> Who wouldn’t want to be more productive, right? And yet, we often find ourselves procrastinating when we should really be working on that important assignment. It’s like the brain refuses to cooperate and it can be so frustrating.

Here are our best productivity tips you can try this week.

Batching

Do all of the same tasks in one batch before moving to another type of task. This seems simple but works incredibly well and allows you to focus better.

Stay Away From Social Media

Use specialized apps to help you with this if you’re struggling. While they certainly have some benefits, social networks are today’s no. 1 killer of productivity.

Work With Someone

You’ll be less likely to stall if there’s another person working with you, so collaborate with a coworker when possible.

Prioritize

You have probably put more things on your to-do list than you can handle, so it’s important to prioritize and get the most important jobs done first.

]]> No matter how often your days get busy, the key to staying on top of them is having a great morning routine. Don’t think that adding a few extra steps will leave you with less time to finish everything. Instead, a morning routine will give you time to organize and prepare to slay during the day.

Stretch

Start each day by stretching before you even get out of the bed. It will wake up your body and sharpen you mind.

Veggies for Breakfast

Make sure you eat right for breakfast and do it first thing in the morning so you can cross it off of your to-do list. A veggie smoothie is an easy way to get all the needed nutrients.

Already on my third cup of coffee and still feeling very “blah” today 😴 Time for a pick-me-up in the form of lots of nutrient-dense green things 😂 Fave green smoothie combo: Banana + pineapple or mango + matcha + hemp seeds + a biiiggg handful of spinach or kale + @harmlessharvest coconut water + a squeeze of lemon + a small pinch of spirulina 🌱 Just enough sweetness to make it palatable, but plenty of greens for a healthy boost!

Take 5 to Put On Makeup

Don’t do it in your car! Take extra five or fifteen minutes in the morning to do your makeup and gather your thoughts. You can sip on a coffee, too.
