Long work hours, demanding schedules, and looming deadlines can affect your energy levels leading to tiredness and fatigue. However, you can conquer work fatigue and boost your performance with a few practical strategies.
Let’s explore proven strategies to conquer workday fatigue and boost performance
- Drink Up
Drinking enough water every day is the easiest way to keep that tiredness and fatigue at bay. The problem is most of us don’t understand the importance of staying hydrated, and if we do, we don’t practice it.
2. Splash cold water on your face
What do you do when you wish to jolt yourself out of sleep? Splash some cold water on your face. It’ll help you reenergize giving you an instant pick-me-up.
3. Step into brightness
Sunlight can increase your alertness and energy. Open the shades and let the natural light come in. If there isn’t any window, step out for a while to get out of the slump.
4. Invest in healthy lifestyle habits
Fatigue can over time become chronic. Stay healthy by indulging in healthy food, exercising, taking short breaks, and having fun with friends.
5. Prioritize sleep
Insufficient or poor-quality sleep can add to fatigue. Make sure you get a good rest by prioritizing your sleep hygiene.
6. Take power naps
Long working hours add to workday fatigue and short 10-20 minute power naps can provide a quick energy boost without interfering with your work cycle.
7. Practice mindfulness
Practicing mindful breathing and other techniques increases oxygen flow, reducing stress and fatigue. It helps you to be alert and in the moment.
Treating the underlying cause of work fatigue can help improve your energy level and boost productivity. But even if you take steps to feel better, know that work fatigue might not improve overnight and needs consistent efforts.
