Calm

2 years ago, first I started to use it. From the first day, I still use my own favorite mix. (Here is the link 🙂 ) Especially when you need to isolate yourself from the noisy environment, Noisli can provide you various nature sounds…

  • Napping

Although it may be a bit difficult, I would suggest to put your head on desk after lunch and try to focus to be relaxed.. You don’t need to fall asleep but it will give you extra energy to finish the day..

  • Breath exercises

I do breath exercises before starting work.. Nose and mouth breath with high frequency will help you to get rid of tiredness..

Nutrition

  • Snacks

Around 11.00, a handful walnut and almond keeps me until lunch time without getting hungry..

  • Water

1.5l bottle encourages me to reach my daily target at work… In general, three times per day I fill it. Sometimes, I feel like a flower…

Flexibility

  • Posture

How you sit on your chair definitely affects your productivity during the day.. Sometimes stress and concentrating to the PC monitor may cause wrong sitting positions. This will cause getting tired and being overwhelmed quickly…

  • Office exercises

Some Simple and very efficient techniques can help you to correct your posture and also feel more energetic when you’re sitting for many hours on your desk.

Productivity

  • Pomodoro

If you are beginner to apply Pomodoro, 25-5 is a good choice. In time, I would suggest you to pass 50-10..

  • Time management matrix

It is mentioned in the other post with the details. Definitely, helps to reduce the stress due to thinking too much about tasks…

  • To do List

Instead of keeping tasks&notes in your mind, writing down to small papers and keep it in your pocket with a pencil changed my life when I was in high school. Still, I have the same habit since I can clearly see its benefits.

  • Find out most productive time slots during the day

To fill these slots with your urgent&important tasks from time management matrix will help you to save energy 🙂
