Many people experience “the blues” when going back to work after a fun and exciting holiday. Trying to get back into the swing of things can make you feel stressed and anxious. But there are ways to help you stay focused when you go back to the office. This is a brand new year filled with amazing opportunities. So if you want to stay ahead of the curb follow these helpful tips.
Keep Your Work Desk Clean and Tidy
Did you know that an untidy work desk can make you feel more stressed? Additionally, it can slow down your productivity because you’ll spend more time looking for documents and work items. So, the first step is to keep your desk clean and sanitised at all times.
Use Zoflora wipes to clean dust, and coffee spills or even to disinfect your stationery. You can also use Zoflora wipes to clean your computer screen, keyboard, and mouse. Keep all your stationery in a pencil box or in organisers on your desk. Make sure that everything you need is easy to find.
Stay Organised at Work
You can become disorganised at work especially if you’re multitasking. But being disorganised can sometimes cause you to forget about tasks and miss important deadlines. The best way to stay organised is to have digital to-do or checklists.
After work, plan the next day by placing all the tasks and projects you need to complete on a checklist. Make sure you put the most important work tasks at the top of your list. So when you arrive at work you’ll know exactly what you need to get done.
How to Stay Productive at Work
Some people feel energised and ready to tackle new tasks when they go back to work. But others struggle to stay productive. The best way to stay productive is to focus on one task at a time. Multitasking can increase your risk of making major mistakes and having to fix them later on.
You can also find ways to complete tasks quicker. Emails can take up most of your time. According to studies, 28% of your work time is spent on reading and responding to emails. You can make this task go quicker by creating email templates and setting up automatic signatures.
Other ways to stay productive would be to keep your digital documents in organised folders on your computer so they’re easy to find.
Eliminate Distractions
Work distractions happen to most people at the office. There may be co-workers who are extra chatty or you’ve set up notifications that keep popping up on your screen. If you want to stay focused at work, you must eliminate all distractions. Avoid social media until you go on your break. You can also ask co-workers to not disturb you between specific working hours.
Keep Your Office Smelling Fresh
Foul odours can affect your concentration. So make it a point to keep your workspace smelling fresh at all times. Zoflora comes in many fragrances that are perfect for an office setting such as:
- Bluebell Woods
- Midnight Bloom
- Rose Noir
- Coconut and Lime
- Tropical Twist
To use your Zoflora as an air freshener, simply fill a 500ml Zoflora spray bottle with cold water. Then add two caps of Zoflora concentrate. Close the bottle and shake thoroughly. Then spray the solution around your office. The Zoflora fragrance lasts for up to 24 hours.
