When
you thinking of relaxing, you probably don’t think of your workplace. In
fact, most corporate work environments are far from relaxing, instead being a
mass of negativity, stress, hurry, and self-inflicted
time management.
However,
just because everyone in your workplace is running around like their hair is on
fire, it does not mean that you have to do the same. Want
to stay one step ahead at work?
Today
we have 20 tips to make your work life a little less stressful and just a
little more relaxing.
- Prepare for your day by
doing your homework the night before.
- Take the stairs
while everyone else is waiting on the elevator.
- Cut back on
collateral duties if they are keeping you from getting your real job done.
- Decline meetings that you do not need
to attend.
- Arrive 30
minutes before your team do, you will get more done in that time than all
day. (Try an hour early!)
- Have a positive
attitude even when those around you do not.
- Do not respond to that email until tomorrow.
- Park a little
further from the door instead of desperately seeking a spot.
- Finish that
project 5 days before
its deadline.
- Be early to
meetings by 10
minutes.
- Review your
calendar for the next week to avoid any surprises.
- Keep your phone
on silent and turn off your email notifications.
- Don’t do
what everyone
else is doing.
- Go for a walk if
you need a productivity boost.
- Once a week,
skip lunch and do something that is important to advancing your goals.
- Don’t schedule
back-to-back meetings.
- Turn off
your phone when you are doing creative work.
- Shut your door when you need privacy.
- Go see people in
person when possible, a conversation is worth 20 emails.
- Go out of your
way to praise people for their hard work.
