A recent Harris Interactive poll found that one-third of workers ages 25 to 39 feel burned out by their jobs. Additionally, primary care physicians report that between 70 and 90 percent of their patients are seen because of underlying emotional stress.
One of the keys to reducing your workday stress and increasing your productivity is multi-tasking. Learning how to multi-task efficiently can help you enjoy your work once again.
Increase Personal Energy
Shift multi-tasking to single tasking throughout the day to allow your mind to re-boot. The human brain uses more energy than any other part of the body. As such, it needs constant replenishment.
Rest is one of the key components to increasing personal energy and productivity. Every two to three hours, stop multi-tasking and allow yourself to do just one thing for 15 to 20 minutes. At the end of this rest period, you'll feel refreshed, alert, and ready to tackle more tasks -- and you'll do so with fewer mistakes than if you plowed through your tasks without this re-boot period.
