Below are four rituals you can easily add to your daily routine that will help you stay focused and productive throughout your work day.
Start by downloading a mindfulness bell or setting alerts in your phone to go off every hour.
- When it goes off get up and move. Not only will your productivity improve, but it’s a proven fact that you will live longer than if you remain seated for hours.
- Next stretch very, very slowly to help release any remaining tension.
- Then take six mindful breathes. This will reboot your brain.
- Finally, before getting back to work, ask yourself “What is the most important thing I could be doing during the next hour?” Then do it.
For extra credit: Repeat affirmations to yourself. Doing so, while waiting at a stop light or during other delays will help keep your mindset positive and focused on your goals.
