The best way to reduce stress and increase productivity is to know exactly how many hours you are dedicating to each activity. The focus is to understand what we are doing in the moments we are free during the day and when we don’t have mandatory activities or any which involve responsibilities.
The moments we are free during our day are important for recharging our energy and dedicating ourselves to activities that will make us feel better. Many times we can fall into the trap of distractions and end up consuming information on social media that will lead us to fatigue, panic, sadness, low self-esteem and anxiety. The same can also happen if we surround ourselves in our social circle with those who complain daily and don’t seek for solutions or those who only talk about themselves and do not practice empathy.
When we seek activities that bring us well-being and life quality, we recharge our energy in a way that strengthens us to face life’s adversities. Free moments should be well used both for rest and also for improvement and development. How this will be done is only a unique and personal decision of each one.
