When you get busy does your mind feel like the “spinning wheel of doom” – the icon that accompanies a frozen screen?
All that tweaking, overthinking, and compulsive quadruple-checking is costing you time, productivity, and, potentially, your sanity.
Here are some tips to help you take action and get out of your own way:
Build templates for recurring tasks and projects. With an outline in place, there will be less room for error, and you’ll spend less time working from scratch.
Work in a new space. Right now, that might be easier said than done. But clearing the clutter, rearranging your #wfh office, or opening a window to let in the natural light can act as a mental refresh.
Take a break. A quick ‘headspace’ or ‘calm’ breathing exercise can help clear your cache.
