Welcome to the Stress Less and Get More Done Newsletter !
This Weeks Topic: Work Life Balance
Here's my ten minute shutdown routine you can use to improve your productivity and promote a sense of separation between your work and personal life.
Step 1: Have a defined stop time, this will help you stay on track and not spend your whole night working. It forces you to focus and fight off distracted behavior.
Step 2: Clean your inbox out keeping only actionable emails and filing away the noise. I throw most of my email in a No-Action Folder.
Step 3: Write down the top 3 things you want to accomplish the next morning. Make sure they can all be done in an hour, be realistic.
Step 4: Go do something you enjoy and reward yourself. Go for a walk, workout, watch your favorite show. Anything that gives your brain that cue that work is done.
Step 5: Start your next day on those 3 items, not email, slack or other distractions. You will feel accomplished, actually get something done and have some control of your day.
