Techniques during work and leisure

Techniques during work

  • Focus on one task at a time instead of multitasking.
  • Use tools like the Pomodoro Technique (25-minute focused work sessions followed by a 5-minute break).
  • Begin with a clear plan or priority list.
  • Set realistic goals to prevent feeling overwhelmed.
  • Step away from your desk for a short walk or stretch.
  • Use a few minutes to focus on your breath or listen to calming music.
  • Turn off unnecessary notifications on your phone or computer.
  • Keep your workspace tidy to reduce mental clutter.
  • Whenever you feel stressed, take a moment to breathe deeply.
  • Try this: Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 6 counts.
  • Engage your senses: Notice 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste.
  • Acknowledge completing even small tasks to boost motivation and maintain focus.

Techniques during Leisure

  • Avoid checking emails or taking work calls during personal time.
  • Create a ritual to signal the end of your workday, such as a short walk or journaling.

  • Notice the flavors, textures, and smells of your food.

Embrace Tech-Free Time

​Savor Simple Moments

  • Appreciate nature during walks or quiet moments.

​Journal or Reflect

  • Write down thoughts or moments of gratitude to ground yourself in the present.
  • Reflect on the positive aspects of your day.

​Practice Yoga or Meditation
