2. From optimizing our inboxes to
streamlining meetings, we’re always
looking for ways to work smarter. But
being productive isn’t only about tackling
every task on your to-do list or having
more downtime (though those things are
great!). Freeing up time and mental energy
also allows you to spend more time
stretching yourself on bigger projects that
grow your skill set, bring value to your
company—and give you a greater sense
3. We spend an average of 90,000 hours
working in our lifetimes, according to the
book Happiness at Work. So we may as
well make them as productive—and
enjoyable—as possible. The good news is,
you don't have to overhaul your entire
schedule. Incorporating a handful of super-
simple work habits can help you get more
done and feel more engaged at work every
day.
Consider these simple ways to switch up
your routine, help you focus, and boost
your mood while you work.
4. Start the Day With Something You
Love
Your morning can set the whole tone
for your day. Dedicate at least five
minutes every AM to something you
enjoy, like meditation, reading, or
sipping a cup of coffee.
5. Cut Back on Rapid Responses
In our uber-connected world, it’s easy to
feel like you need to respond immediately
to every email, text, or meeting invite. But
it’s healthier to take time to respond in
most situations. That also trains other
people not to expect an immediate answer
from you. It is recommended to block out
time each day to answer non-urgent
emails and calls, so they don't interfere
with your to-do list.
6. Do the Dreaded Tasks First
Tackle at least one unpleasant task
early in the day. That doesn’t mean you
have to do all the hard stuff at once, but
you’ll feel more in control when you chip
away at the onerous tasks instead of
leaving them all for the end of the day
when you’re more fatigued.
7. Say Hi to a Coworker
A Workplace Trends study found that
60% of study respondents would stay at
a company longer if they had more
friends there. Socializing at work makes
you feel more invested in your job.
8. Don’t Assume Anything
It’s easy to misread tone in an email or
misconstrue an offhand comment as a
personal attack. Don’t be afraid to ask
questions rather than assume or take
things personally. Emotional intelligence
will make your job a much happier
place.
9. Move More
Taking a few mini-breaks is essential to
staying focused, energetic and engaged
at work. Find easy ways to step away
from work and move your body
throughout your day. Set an alarm to
remind yourself to stand up and stretch
every hour, for example, or take a short
walk at lunchtime.
10. Declutter your desk
We’d all like to believe that a messy
desk is a sign of a genius mind, but
clutter also makes it harder for your
brain to process information. Your
workspace doesn't have to be spotless,
but a more organized area will help you
feel more in control.
11. Cut down on social media scrolling
We’ve all done it. We hop onto
Facebook or Twitter only to emerge 30
minutes later from a social media daze
and wonder where the time went. To
avoid distraction, set aside specific
times—ideally at the end of the day or
on your lunch break—to check your
personal social media accounts.
12. Be of Service
If you want to be better at your job, think
beyond yourself. Ask yourself, “Is there
a team or manager who could use an
extra hand right now?” You’ll build
goodwill, of course, but helping
colleagues improves your mood, too.
13. Keep a Gratitude List
Studies show that appreciating the upsides
in your life can help you better enjoy good
experiences and cope with bad ones. So
take a few minutes to think about the
positive side of your work life. Maybe you
are thankful for supportive coworkers, your
company’s mission, a flexible boss, even
just a steady paycheck. So write out a few
expectations and a few things you’re
grateful for every day.
