Move
Stretch for 1 minute every hour. Doesn’t even matter what the stretch is (at least to start). Even brief stretching breaks can improve flexibility and reduce discomfort from prolonged sitting.
Eat
Swap one processed snack for a made-from-home or whole ingredient option. Choosing whole foods over processed snacks improves overall nutrient intake and reduces added calorie consumption.
Sleep
Keep your bedroom cool. A study in Sleep Medicine Reviews shows that a cooler sleeping environment improves sleep onset and overall quality.
Manage
For at least a single 10-minute chunk, don’t multitask. Doing two 10-minute tasks at the same time won’t take 10 minutes. It likely won’t even take 20 minutes. It will probably take closer to 25 or 30. Focusing on a single task can radically improve productivity and (importantly) reduce mental fatigue. Read more HERE.
