I’m always seeking more ways to be more productive and motivated in the workplace.
How do I stay motivated and creative to produce better ideas?
It’s a day to day struggle, yet not impossible.
So, where to begin?
Be conscious in the workplace.
Our work can be an integral part of our life. Find meaning in everything you do, look at the bigger picture. When completing a task think about all the impact you are doing, how your work is influencing everything around you and how essential it is to maintain the flow.
Be aware & awake.
According to a Harvard University research, 47% of a person’s day can be lost in thoughts. That’s approximately 677 minutes that are wasted in limbo. Practice single-tasking, give your task the full attention it deserves and be consciously present in what you’re doing. It’s okay to drift once in a while, when you catch yourself doing so, restart & reboot. Start over.
Practice mindfulness.
In short words, mindfulness is “the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something.” This helps rebalance your nervous system and re-engage your brain for better decision making and thought processing. You don’t need a 45-minute meditation session to be mindful, take periods of 5 minutes to just sit still and breathe, or join the digital mindset and benefit from various apps.
Try: Headspace, Calm
Most importantly, stay grateful
You’ve been entrusted to do this job, someone chose you for your capabilities and skills. Make the best use of them and reflect gratitude in every task you do.
A positive mindset can go a long way, stay conscious and make the most of it.
