Sticking to new year\u2019s resolutions is hard, so this year we\u2019ve decided to take on a more sustainable challenge\u2014being more productive. As we get ready to take on the rest of the year, we\u2019ve rounded up our top tips for making 2019 your most productive<\/a> year yet. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Form a Morning Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many health experts and entrepreneurs swear by a morning routine to unlock productivity. Rather than hitting snooze and then rushing out the door, try these few steps to set you up for greatness.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Drink a glass of water to rehydrate after a night’s sleep. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Take five to ten minutes to meditate, clearing your mind for the day ahead so you’re ready to take on any challenges with a calmer mindset. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Take a few minutes to focus on your tasks for the day ahead. Prioritise your to-dos<\/a> and walk yourself through what needs to get done. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Then take 10 minutes to do some gentle exercise and stretches. Working out and moving is a huge part of success and helps you to feel energised to take on the day ahead. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Eat Well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Introducing a balanced diet will make the world of difference when it comes to productivity. Without the right amount of nutrients we\u2019re left feeling sluggish, tired, stressed and unsatisfied. Try eating small meals every couple of hours rather than 3 large meals a day, and swap out sugary snacks with nuts, fruit or carrot sticks for a slower release of energy.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Limit Social Media Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Studies show that we now spend a day a week checking our phone. Imagine what we could do if we had that time back? Short bursts of social media can be great for inspiration and motivation, but browsing Instagram can be a major distraction when you\u2019re trying to get things done. Setting aside designated social media time can curb the urge to pick up your phone when your mind wanders and keep you on the path to productivity. If you need some accountability, try apps like Flipd<\/a>, OffTime<\/a>, or Self Control to impose time limits on your devices. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Treat Yourself With Grace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Keeping on top of everything all of the time can be hard work. If you have a slow day where you don\u2019t feel like you\u2019ve accomplished enough, forgive yourself and start again the next day. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Whether it’s keeping your new year’s resolutions or taking a moment for yourself, book a Tasker<\/a> to help you keep momentum in 2019.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
