Strategy #2: Break Timer to stay healthy and energized
This is the free Pomodoro Timer I use every day. I work on something for 25 minutes then take a 5 minute break. Also, I set my intention for every cycle of 25-5-25-5-25-5-25-15. So in 100 minutes of work, I have something completed and feel energized.
How it reduces stress and increases productivity and confidence: One half of your brain does most of the work whether it's your creative side or analytical side.
When you get burned out, those two halves need a break so they can get together and have a party in your head. (This is why when you get away from your work, you get new ideas!)
Without enough breaks (and brain parties in your head, LOL), you will be less and less productive and more and more stressed and disillusioned with life... and physically and emotionally and mentally unhealthy. Yuck.
The timer is a great partner to have during your day. I use it for everything outside of work too. In the morning, I set it and may eat breakfast and shower in the first 25 min.
Why it's FUN: Playing a game like "Beat the Clock" with your timer is a lot more fun than dredging on and on throughout your day feel exhausted by the end. |
