Do Less. Accomplish More.

With all of the demands on our time, many of us resort to multitasking. While multitasking may seem like a good idea, it actually divides our attention, slows us down, increases mistakes and stress, and even hurts our relationships.  Follow these tips to accomplish more by doing less.

Take a tech break. Technology allows us to be connected 24/7 but that doesn’t mean we have to be. Whether you’re socializing with friends or studying, be present in the moment and put away tech distractions (cough your phone). This will allow for more meaningful conversations and relationships and a greater learning experience.

Treat yourself after completing a task. Social media, texting, hunger, socializing, and other distractions make for a great incentive to get tasks done. Allow yourself to have short breaks after checking off a task on your to-do list.  This will help you focus your energy and be more productive on the task at hand.

Exercise. From going for a walk, lifting weights, taking a fitness class, and practicing yoga there are lots of ways to be active. All of these activities reduce your stress, boost your mood, increase your energy, and help you sleep better!
