6 Morning Habits (That Aren’t Meditation) That Help You Focus All Day

6 Morning Habits (That Aren’t Meditation) That Help You Focus All Day | Help and Support everybody around the world | Scoop.it

You’ve probably experienced the frustration of being distracted at work. Perhaps you were pulled into a never-ending Slack discussion, and when it finally ended you struggled to focus on the task you were working on. Or a coworker criticized you, and now you can’t stop replaying his comments in your head.

 

It’s totally normal to lose focus after a period of time (which is why you should be taking regular breaks). But if you find yourself easily distracted throughout the day, you might want to consider tweaking some of your morning habits. They probably won’t eliminate all distractions, but you’ll at least start your workday strong building a good foundation for the rest of the day.

6 Morning Habits - very interesting!  I've never considered a couple of them.  The "Eat a Different Frog" is one of them.  I like the walking in the morning, although a really difficult one for me to do, while I'm a morning person the thought of walking in the rain really early in the morning is not appealing. The cold shower suggesting, hmmm, I may go for lukewarm perhaps that will help.

Everyone wants to be more productive. For me, morning habits are the most adaptable and useful habits to focus on.

How To Harness Psychology To Ace Your Performance Review

How To Harness Psychology To Ace Your Performance Review | Help and Support everybody around the world | Scoop.it

Performance reviews have been reportedly going extinct for quite some time. But they aren't completely in the grave yet, and maybe they shouldn't be. Despite the dread with which many employees greet their year-end evaluations,psychological studies have shown that people still generally find them useful—as long as those reviews offer a chance to discuss relevant issues, outline key objectives, and provide constructive feedback.

 

But for that to happen, you need to go in prepared. In fact, you may think the biggest factor in your success is how you perform throughout the year, but your manager may know less about how well you're actually performing than you may hope—meaning your annual review might count for more than you imagine. That can be good news for you, though. These are three tips, based on some fundamentals of human psychology, to help tilt the field in your favor.

Hint: It's about your boss's job as much as your own.

The 12 Stages of Burnout, According to Psychologists

Tell someone 'I'm sick' or 'I'm tired' and you're not really giving them much information. How sick? How tired? Do you have a mild cold or a dread disease? Are you a new parent who hasn't slept in months or did you just enjoy the party last night a little too much?

 

Burnout is the same. It comes in different degrees, from your common 'I can't wait for happy hour' variety, to far more serious 'I need to take a six-month sabbatical and re-evaluate my life' burnout. The appropriate response for different stages is very different.

 

So how do you know how burnt out you are exactly? Science, apparently, can help. Recently 99U's Hamza Khan dug up a classic Scientific American article (subscription required) that describes a 12-stage model of burnout developed by psychologists Herbert Freudenberger and Gail North. Here are the stages the scientists outline:

How bad is your burnout? Here's the scientific answer.

rodrick rajive lal's curator insight, August 4, 2017 12:41 AM
As work pressure mounts and the need to compete with yourself and your partners becomes a reality, one is exposed to stress. Burnout is the result of your not being able to handle stress. Unfortunately, employee burnout is a serious issue today. Attrition is the result of burnout. However some corporates will not keep their employees for a long time in any case, so it is expected that employees will leave long before burnout takes place.
