How To Stay Productive At Work (As The Nice Weather Approaches...)

How To Stay Productive At Work (As The Nice Weather Approaches...) Although there havent been many, we have had a few sunny spells recently. Even though some of us dont get to see much of the sun, its nice to go to work and finish work when its light outside and it can make such a difference to our moods. You may envy your friends who dont go to work until the evening but Im sure they envy the perks of your job too.  It would be nice for us all to relax in the sun but we need to keep ourselves motivated and focused at work. 1. Set Yourself Some Goals We are always recommending goal setting, it is a great way of keeping you motivated at work and it really helps you become organised and focused. There may be a couple of challenges that you would like to meet before a particular date, We are all entitled to holidays and 2. Keep Yourself Happy Healthy Diet and exercise can have a huge impact on our moods, especially if we are stuck indoors all day. There is a large connection between healthiness and productivity so its important to make it a priority. Comfort eating and avoiding exercise may cause weight gain and more severe health issues, these issues could make you disabled to work and cause you to feel down. If you arent happy healthwise then its difficult to stay happy and motivated towards work. 3. Make Plans If we have any holidays in mind, its best that we book them off sooner rather than later. Booking them off early will avoid any disappointment and also, prepare you for your holiday 4.  Make The Most Of The  Daylight Some of you wont be able to wake up any earlier than you already do, but if you do allow yourself to lie in, it might be time to ditch the extra hour and walk/cycle to work to catch as much Vitamin D as possible.  Our working hours can sometimes mean that we spend most of the daytime indoors, so make the most of it before you get to work and avoid the frustrating  traffic jams Unfortunately, not all of you will be able to, but if you can take your work outside. Soak up the sun whilst powering through your daily tasks. Make sure there arent many distractions around and that you can actually see your screen. It might even make you more productive! Oh and prepare for a sudden change in weather, we all know how unpredictable British weather can be.   5. Keep Yourself Busy Sometimes summer months can be quieter depending on what industry we work in. Try to keep yourself occupied to make sure that you dont become bored or frustrated at work. If you have finished all of your projects and you may find yourself dawdling through the day, meet with your manager/supervisor and let them know that you have some free time. They may sign you up for some really interesting projects and you may even be able to try some new things out. Its completely natural to want to lie around in the sun, especially if you live somewhere where you dont see much sun, make sure you keep yourself happy and healthy, this will have a huge impact on your personal and professional life.
