If you’re like many people, you may find yourself burning the candle at both ends from time to time. There never seem to be enough hours in the day to accomplish everything. Now could be the time to reverse that trend.
You can actually be more productive if you break up the pace of your day. Instead of working for hours and hours on one task, which can lead to burnout, design a pattern that fits your needs. For instance, work at your desk for an hour, then get up and do something else for ten minutes—go to the copy machine, take a quick walk, do the laundry, or eat a healthy snack. Balance intense mental focus with relaxation and creative time to keep your energy up and your mind sharp for longer.
