Productivity Exercises for the Mind and Body

Are you looking for clever, easy ways to keep your mind sharp and improve your productivity? Here are some simple but effective exercises to help you get things done in a timely manner:

Listen to Music

According to studies, music is capable of enhancing productivity and overall cognitive performance. In fact, there’s even a link between the tempo of a song and how productive you can be! For example, a song with a three-chord structure is effective for repetitive tasks, while more instrumental playlists can be useful when engaging in work that requires your full attention.

Meditate

This tip is great for people who struggle to stay focused. Meditation is all about refocusing your attention, which can be especially useful when it comes to remaining productive at work. All that’s required for simple meditation is to sit comfortably and count your breaths for a five-minute period. When you find your mind wandering, simply bring your attention back to your breathing and continue with the exercise.

Go For a Run

Did you know that running can help you to better process information and have positive effects on the parts of the brain responsible for learning and memory? Even a quick thirty-minute jog can work wonders on your overall productivity and physical health! If you’re not a fan of running or find that you don’t have the time, simply jumping rope for 2-3 minutes at a time can have a similar energizing effect.
