Small Tweaks for Better Workdays
Some nights, you get home, drop your keys on the counter, and feel like the day just happened to you instead of one you had an active role in. Your shoulders feel tight, your eyes are sore from all the screens, and dinner turns into whatever you can put together most quickly. Technically, you made it through, but the ordeal left you drained. Most of us can’t rewrite our job descriptions, but we can do things to improve our days. Instead of hunting for a perfect routine, it’s best to start with a couple of small changes that can make tomorrow feel a little more manageable. First, look at your commute. If traffic leaves you on edge, try adjusting your departure time by a few minutes, or search for a quieter route to work. Is public transportation an option? If so, taking a bus or train once or twice a week can be a nice change from driving. It may take longer, but it gives you time to read or listen to
something you actually enjoy. A calmer arrival at work can make everything else easier.
It’s also worth looking at how you take breaks throughout the day. First of all, are you actually taking them? A moment or two of staring off into the distance doesn’t count. A real break pulls your eyes, mind, and body away from work. That might mean taking a quick walk outside or simply moving to another part of the building and looking out a window. And have your lunch somewhere other than your desk. Eating in front of the same screen you use to answer emails isn’t going to give your brain the reset it needs. Finally, pick a stopping point and protect it. Once the workday is over, close the laptop and leave the office. Resist the temptation to log back in after work or check your emails before bed. Tomorrow’s workday usually feels better if the previous day had a clear, conclusive ending.
