- Have a routine and stick to it:
As the day gets shorter and we lose track of time, it’s important to follow a schedule. This will help to avoid laziness and procrastination.
- Plan fun things to look forward to:
Whether it’s hanging out with friends, doing a fun activity like visiting a pumpkin patch, or baking some muffins early in the morning, planning an activity to do for fun will help to ease any stress, anxiety, or depressive feelings.
- Make completing tasks fun:
Are you cutting corners or procrastinating on your work? Stop thinking of it as a chore and choose incentives for finishing your work. Activities like going out for a walk, spending time with friends, or treating yourself can make accomplishing tasks easier.
- Set tasks ahead of time:
Take time the night before to plan your day. During the cold months, the day seems to fly by and you’re left feeling unproductive and lazy. By planning ahead, you will know what you need to accomplish and feel satisfied with the tasks you have completed.
- Aromatherapy to make you more awake:
There are other changes you can make in your lifestyle that don’t have anything to do with your work ethic or habits. Simple changes such as nice scents and diffusers can do the trick. Using oils like peppermint or rosemary can spruce up any room and make you feel awake and active!
