Reduced Stress

A cluttered living space can be quite overwhelming to the point that it even causes feelings of anxiety. This can also make it difficult to relax and unwind at the end of the day, affecting your quality of sleep throughout the night. Keeping your space clean and tidy may help you to feel more in control. Additionally, it creates a peaceful atmosphere that’s conducive to a good night’s sleep.

Increased Focus

Clutter can be distracting and make it hard to concentrate on the task at hand. By keeping your space organized and clutter-free, you can minimize distractions and create a focused environment that makes it easy to get things done.

Tips for Keeping Your Space Organized

The easiest way to keep your space tidy is to make a habit of cleaning up as you go. Have a designated space for each of your belongings that makes it easy to put things away when you’re done using them. 

You can also make a practice of doing a little bit each day. Don’t have time to clean the entire kitchen? Do the dishes today and the counters tomorrow.

So, we’d like to propose an alternative—single-tasking. Single tasking is the practice of focusing on one task at a time, and only moving onto something else when the initial task is complete. Read on to learn more about the benefits of single-tasking and how it can improve your wellbeing.

Reduces stress and anxiety

It’s actually not possible for our brains to focus on several things at the same time, and so what we tend to consider multitasking is actually just switching from one task to another at a relatively rapid pace. This can become overwhelming and exhausting, and we may end up rushing through each task just to find a bit of relief. By focusing on one thing at a time, we can reduce the mental load on our brains and feel more relaxed and in control.

Increases productivity

When we try to multitask, we often end up making more mistakes than we would focusing on one thing at a time. We then need to spend more time and energy correcting these mistakes. By giving our full attention to one task at a time, we can work more efficiently and save time for other things.

Improves focus

Constant switching between tasks causes our brains to become accustomed to getting distracted, making it more difficult to stay with a particular task. By practicing focusing on one thing at a time, we can train our brains to concentrate for longer periods and improve our ability to focus in all areas.

Group Class

If you find self-guided workouts too distracting, but can’t afford a personal trainer, joining a group class is a good idea. In addition to getting to try something new, you’ll have an easier time concentrating by following the instructions and doing exercises with the rest of the group.

Timed Breaks

If you’re keeping your phone by your side during your workouts, make sure to put it to some good use. Use a timer to properly time the breaks between sets, or consider getting a watch that can do the same for you.

No Busy Hours

If you’d like to steer clear of the crowds and avoid waiting for equipment during your workout, avoid going to the gym during rush hour. Most people only have time to hit the gym in the evening after work, but if that’s not the case with you, try to avoid this slot.

Make Your Bed

Get some order in your home by making your bed first thing in the morning. This will have a positive impact on your brain—nobody’s actually productive and in a good mood in a messy home.

Drink Water

How often do you hear that hydration is the key to feeling good? That’s because it’s true — a simple act of drinking enough water is sometimes all you need to prevent headaches and keep your body running at an optimal pace.

Plan Your Day

Set up to three priorities for the day and organize your day around them. You’ll be more likely to achieve your goals and you’ll be less stressed this way.

If you want your days to start differently, forget about hitting the snooze alarm and work on developing these useful habits. You’ll see that you’ll become more productive and you’ll be doing things much more efficiently in no time.

Drink Water

As soon as you get up, drink a big glass of water. It will wake you up better than coffee.

Get Moving

A morning workout is a great idea, but if you’re not used to moving in the morning, you can start slowly with walking or 10-minute yoga.

To-Do List

Creating a to-do list with all the things that are waiting for you in the given day is an important step towards actually doing those things.

It’s commonly recommended that you should get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. But if you don’t manage to get that from Monday to Friday, you may feel the need to make up for it by sleeping more during the weekend.

A study conducted at Stockholm University by psychologist Torbjorn Akerstedt and his colleagues lasted for 13 years and tracked over 38,000 people with a focus on their sleeping habits during weekdays and weekends. They found that, though it’s not a perfect solution, “it seems that weekend compensation is good.” It’s better to make up for the lost sleep hours during weekends than to not do it at all, although it’s still the best to have a regular sleep schedule for every day of the week.

So, instead of drinking another coffee and forcing your way to 5 o’clock, try these alternatives.

Get Enough Sleep

Your chances of experiencing an afternoon slump are much higher if you haven’t had enough sleep the night before. Make sure to clock in at least 7 hours.

Do Something Creative

Sometimes, your brain doesn’t need a break – it needs to be activated. Do something creative to get it running.

Eat Right

What you eat directly affects how you feel throughout the day. Check if your diet is beneficial for your brain – it should contain antioxidants (green veggies, berries) and omega-3 fatty acids (fish, walnuts, eggs), among other things.
