Summer is finally here! But wait... you're an adult. Luckily, there are simple yet effective ways to keep yourself productive at work while the temperature climbs outside.

Dive Right In!

Sure, no one is checking on you, but sleeping later than your normal alarm sets you back all day. Wake up early, make yourself a cup of your favorite coffee or tea, and take a few moments for mindfulness. (Try Reusable Sticky Notes! Who doesn't love an inspirational note to self? Because yeah... you got this.) 

Take Breaks

Long stretches of uninterrupted work can zap your concentration. Break up the day with a couple of short walks in nature (or nature-ish). Bonus, you're getting 10k steps! Tip: Try Reusable Task Charts to gamify your summer steps.

Make a To-Do List Every Day

Hold yourself accountable by writing out a to-do list each day. At the end of the day, roll leftover items onto tomorrow's list. The goal is to start each day with a clear idea of what is to come. Jotters Reusable Paper are perfect for daily to-do lists and clearing your paper clutter!

Upgrade Your WFH Space

By now, many have been working from home for years. Time to clear the clutter, and revamp your space! Even if you set up a WFH office in 2020, odds are, it could use an upgrade. Use Magnetic Nesting Tiles anywhere you need to organize, categorize, sort, plan, or delegate tasks.

Stay productive this summer while working from home! It's easy to get distracted when it's finally nice enough to go outside, but there are some simple ways to keep you on track in your home office that will help you enjoy your workday.

Why are bad habits so much easier to keep around than good ones? Our brains like to feel comfortable and safe - and bad habits can feel like a cozy (but bad for us!) blanket. Whether consciously acted on or not, we love the dopamine rush of a fulfilled bad habit craving. When we try to change our brains, they steer us back to what we know - the habits we want to break.
