The 45-15 rule to work LESS and achieve MORE

This week we finish the working at home serie with 4 tips, I hope your work at home is becoming more fun and you've improved your productivity:

• Use a chronometer

If you get tired easily and tend to check facebook or waste your time on the web, set a chronometer. It is proven that our brains are able to stay focused for 45 minute increments.

Try to work for 45 minutes and rest for 10-15 minutes, you will feel refreshed and will concentrate easier after a little rest.

• Leisure time

We spend most of our days doing intellectual work, using only one side of our brain. In order to feel balance, try to include some leisure time every week. 

Activities like painting, singing or gardening can help you to relax and use your creative side with no stress or deadlines… just for fun.

• Exercise

 If we spent most of our days sitting, exercising becomes a requirement. It will reduce stress and help our system stay healthy and balanced. 

If your work is stressful I recommend one or two hours of yoga per week. It will help you train your body and your mind to stay calm.

• Get Social

Simply by changing your work location – to  a coffee/tea house maybe for a couple of hours a week.
