5 Tips for Staying Focused In the Summer
1. Get Moving
Starting the morning with a nice walk is one of our favorite productivity hacks. It’s beneficial for boosting circulation, exposing your eyes and skin to natural light, and it can help recharge your mind. Plus, physical movement can help enhance your focus throughout the day.
2. Work Outdoors
If possible, take a few meetings or brainstorming sessions outside. This can help get your fix of the sun while staying on task. No one likes to feel like they spent all summer indoors, so if you can, move a few hours of work outside. Plus, environments with plants, natural light, and sounds of nature can help boost creativity.
3. Time Block
Time blocking is one of our most-used tips for staying focused. It’s a powerful technique where you dedicate specific times in your day for different tasks or activities. This method allows you to schedule in time for sunbathing, dips in the pool, a bike ride around the block, and of course, work.
4. Conscious Caffeine Intake
Staying hydrated should always be a priority in the heat. Caffeine can actually dehydrate the body, especially when sweating more in the summer months. Balancing hydration and caffeine intake can help sustain your energy levels without compromising your focus. When you want a swap, reach for Dandy Blend—our delicious, caffeine-free coffee alternative.
5. Think About Balance
We know there are so many tempting activities in the summer, especially if you have kiddos. Remember that the best method for success in anything is balance. If you spend the morning outside, maybe schedule the rest of the day for inside tasks. If you have to work late one night, see if you can start a little later the next day to get some time in the sun.
Happy Summer!
