At this time of year, do you feel worn out, overburdened, and less productive? It’s not just you. Experts say you’re one of thousands of individuals experiencing “end-of-year fatigue,” a real phenomenon that makes people feel exhausted, irritated, and overwhelmed as the year comes to a close. These strategies could help you overcome the fatigue that comes along as the year ends.
You need focus
When we are constantly being inundated with work, how can we focus better? Make it a habit to block out time in your calendar to complete a certain chore or activity. Ask to be left alone or move to a location where others are less likely to bother you during this time, such as a library, a coffee shop, or a private room.
You need sleep
Lack of sleep can make you groggy from fatigue, which negatively impacts your mood, focus, alertness, and productivity. Sleeping enough is essential for brain renewal. Aim for 7-9 hours of sound sleep each night. Make sure your bedroom promotes relaxation and sleep by cleaning up the clutter, providing cozy bedding, and turning off the TV and phone.
You need planning
We feel more productive when we try to complete several tasks at once. However, this may lead to lack of attention, poor concentration, and decreased productivity. Burnout can result from decreased productivity. Before going to night, make a list of the crucial things you need to get done the next day. The to-do list should be brief and practical.
