5 ways to get through a busy day at work

Running after meetings and deadlines might seem overwhelming and taxing as you go through your work day. Don’t worry because with these simple activities, you will not only feel more productive, you’ll also feel recharged and even more driven to get through all of your tasks!

List down tasks that need to be done
Getting a task done is already a challenge, but listing all your goals for the day or week can help you keep track of your progress and beat deadlines. Know which tasks to prioritize and put those on top of your list so you could finish the urgent ones first. Maintain this workflow and see yourself go on a roll.

Talk to different people for ideas
The best ideas come from discussions, not just with your teammates, but with people from various departments as well. Don’t be afraid to ask around and talk to different people to get different perspectives and get your creative juices flowing. Allocate a fair amount of time for discussions with your officemates for efficient time management.

Stay motivated with a positivity jar
Nothing beats getting sweet surprises for inspiration, so beat work-induced stress and get motivated with a positivity jar or a container filled with motivational quotes. Workday got you down? Grab a piece of paper from the jar and get a pleasant surprise! Another version of a positivity jar could involve a monetary incentive. For instance, for every goal achieved, put in a certain amount of money and watch it grow into a fund that you could use by the end of the year for whatever your heart pleases.

Control your phone use
The itching feeling of checking your phone for leisure can be very tempting, but doing so may take a toll on your deadlines at work. Know that using your phone is both a boon and a bane. For one, you may use your phone to better organize your time and become more productive with its features like an alarm, a to-do list, a calendar, etc. On the other hand, your phone could potentially distract you with social media. In the latter’s case, it’s best to keep a rule on your phone use so you don’t get derailed. You can start by turning off notifications or setting a time limit rule when checking social media apps.

Go on regular coffee breaks
Speaking of taking breaks, why not make it a worthwhile one with a cup of coffee? In order to fully wake your senses up to face the long hours of work, schedule daily coffee breaks that will help you keep track of the day’s goals! Perk up with coffee and get a boost for the workload you’re facing. To make sure you have an energetic afternoon, drink NESCAFE On-the-go, which has the right balance of “tapang” and “timpla” that will give you that much-needed “Hapon Bangon!”
