How can I improve my productivity?

Q: How can I improve my productivity?

A: Here are four quick steps for better productivity:

• Take short breaks throughout your day. This helps you refresh and recharge. Trying to power through all day diminishes your energy and focus.

• Prioritize your tasks so you can start the day by accomplishing something concrete. This will launch your creativity and help you work more efficiently.

• Hydrate. Coffee is enervating so be sure to have water, too, in order to enhance your mental acuity.

• Make wellness a top-of-mind practice. Exercise, meditate, talk with a mentor, do a mini crossword puzzle, or take other preferred steps to stay in good physical, mental, and emotional form. You will invigorate your work mode and enhance your productivity.
