Lack of motivation.... Forgetfulness.... Procrastination.... A strong desire to quit.....
Does the warm weather and sunlight make it harder for you to be more productive in the office? Below are a few tips for overcoming "summer brain":
📋 Create daily checklists. While your calendar can be a helpful tool, writing down tasks and checking them off as you go can boost your productivity.
🚶Take a walk around the block. Embrace the part of you that wants to be outside with short walks during the work day. Be sure to wear sun block and eye protection.
🚰 Drink more water. The health benefits of water are well documented. However, less emphasis is placed on the side effects of dehydration, including fatigue and headaches.
🚆Leave. Not permanently, but take a vacation. Take time away from the office, emails, conference calls, and work to enjoy the summer weather and activities.
Weather can affect our moods and our motivations. Try these tips to actively combat summer brain and stay focused.
