I like to take a short (10 to 15 minutes) bike ride around the neighborhood before and after work. Gets my blood pumping before work and i perform better, and after work ride relaxes me as im looking at nature
That’s a great idea. If you can’t get a smile on your face after a few minutes on a bicycle you’re doing life wrong!
I am about to copy that 😅
Late to the party but my tip is to use the Apple focus settings. At 18:00 on weekdays my “personal” group is enabled. This turns off my notifications for things like work email, work WhatsApp and Zoom. Using shortcuts and automation it also turns off my work SIM. At 08:00 “personal” ends and everything switches back on.
The great thing about this is it synchronises across all my Apple devices so you set it up once and never have to think about it again.
As a bonus tip I also disable the badges for work apps when in “personal” as I found I was tempted to keep jumping back into email because I could see unread emails.
That's a great tip, and the party is still going so you're just "fashionably late!"
Great video, something I want to add ... be careful of coworkers who "live to the job". Even before watching this video I tried to instill a hard rule to shutdown my laptop at 5pm... but often I would be in a call with a project manager that started at 4:30pm ... many times we would still be on the phone past 5pm, its like he was oblivious the working day had ended. I got sick of this after a while and made abrupt excuses once the clock when past 5pm such as "right I've got to head out, I need to collect the kids" ... this worked fine and I recommend it if you have a teams call that is drifting past your allocated hours.
I hear you on that one. There are too many people that think time at work automatically equals quality output at work and try and put that on others. I'll usually let people know I have a "hard stop" when I have to pickup the kids. You can do this in a nice way, or if they're "repeat offenders" you can even schedule another meeting at 5PM and tell them you have to run.
I work from home 1xweek and at the office 4x. I have recently started studying and I noticed that if I try to study when I get home (7pm) I am just too tired and stressed out, and I'll have so many chores around the house that I just lose track and never sit down and actually study. We'll, it's been a week since I've started going to sleep early and waking up at 4:50am to get some study time before my 9-5, although waking up early is not that easy it has been sooo great! No one is awake at 5 so I get a lot of peace and quiet, and when I get home I get some house chores done and go to sleep without feeling stressed out and trying to open up books and classes. The tips you gave are so true! Having a schedule and a calendar is amazing as long as you're not too busy keeping up with it, and having a desk setup that is comfortable is a must!!!!
Excellent! I'm glad it's working out for you! I don't know that many (or any) of us are naturally early risers but it's definitely something that can be learned and has such a great return that it's worth a couple weeks of pain to get on a morning schedule. Keep up the good work!
@@TheBigHeavy it was not natural at all 😹 first few days are brutal, but as long as u go to bed early, it’s doable
Very informative. I can relate to all the things you are saying like waking up 10 minutes before that first meeting and not being able to wind down a work day. Blocking out calendars is a great way to have that focus time too..
Glad to help!
Great video. Lots of good information here. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Very good information here. Especially the winding up for work and the wind down.
Glad it was helpful! I still struggle with the wind-down, especially when calls start to bleed into transporting kids, meeting friends, etc.
Do you work for a certain healthcare IT company? 😂
No, neither healthcare nor IT.
