Here are a few ways you can change focus from the daily grind at
work. Just taking a short time away to let your mind and body
recharge can increase productivity when back to the office.
• Take a two-hour lunch. Get away for more than a sandwich at
the desk.
• Go home early one day. Pick a day, any day, and leave early, and
don’t contact the office again until the next day. When it comes
to work-life balance, 68 percent of executives and managers
believe businesspeople are unbalanced.
• Think. With so many fires to put out and tasks to accomplish,
there’s no free time to think anymore. Take the time, clear
your head, and then get back to work. Companies need clear
thinkers.
• Exercise. Even if it’s just a walk around the block, get away from
the office and be physical.
• Read. Pick something that isn’t work-related. Get away from
the work mentally.
