Five Tips to Staying Energetic at Work

Staying energetic throughout work is something most people around the world struggle with. While proper diet, sleep, and hydration certainly play a role, many other factors can contribute. The simple fact of not wanting to do the work or being in the wrong career can quickly drain your energy too.

Nothing is worse than trying to get through your daily work tasks while struggling to keep your eyes open. Thankfully, you can incorporate many tips and tricks into your everyday life to manage it much more easily.

These five tips will help you stay energetic at work to maximize productivity.

Avoid Stimulants and Remember to Hydrate

While coffee or sugary drinks may feel like they give you energy, eventually they will lead to a crash that is much harder to recover from. Likewise, stimulants can easily affect your sleep schedule, making it hard to go to bed or wake up. They can also cause dehydration which further increases your fatigue.


Do Light Physical Activity Before Work

Believe it or not, physical activity before work at the start of your day will actually improve your energy levels. This is because exercise increases endorphins that make you feel better. It also helps improve your metabolism, which is essential for controlling and maintaining your energy levels throughout the day.


Keep Your Workspace Productive and Bright

Rid your workspace of all distractions and make sure there is as much natural light as possible. Sunlight is vital to producing vitamin D, an essential nutrient that makes you feel rested and content or happy. Proper vitamin D levels are also known to improve the quality and duration of sleep.


Eat for Fuel Not Convenience

While it may be evident to most, it is important to note how much your diet can affect your energy levels. For instance, if you start your day with processed, high-calorie food and a sugary breakfast, you are more likely to experience fatigue before making it to lunch. This is because your body requires more energy to metabolize high-calorie foods. In addition, sugar can overstimulate your body. This combination can make you feel fatigued throughout the day.


Follow Effective To-Do Lists

While to-do lists donโ€™t provide energy, they provide direction and motivation. Low energy is often simply due to a lack of focus, which can easily be solved with a good to-do list.

Donโ€™t let your poor energy levels make work harder than it has to be. Work you donโ€™t enjoy or are difficult is already a struggle of its own. Poor energy levels will only make it worse. Itโ€™s simple: the more energy you have, the more productive you will be.


YOU’RE SOBER! NOW WHAT? Meet Online Besties Tamar & Lane, hosts of the podcast Youโ€™re Sober! Now What? and Founders of The Now What Academy. Youโ€™ll want to hang out with them because they are funny as shit. If youโ€™re looking to laugh, listen to the show. How do they know? Because thatโ€™s how they roll!

With over 35 years of continuous sobriety, Tamar & Lane support women over 40 who have hit the f*ck it button and find themselves asking WTF! Now What? They help women find their Three Gโ€™s over in the Now What Society.
