You don’t have to move like a sloth to want to become more productive. Everyone wants to have the energy to do more in less time. You have to move a little faster to do that and take fewer breaks. Moving faster and stopping less to rest requires stamina and fitness. You have to get healthy to do that. Clearing up mental fuzziness can also boost productivity. Mental fuzziness occurs for several reasons. One of them is stress. Another is lack of sleep. There are more and most involve making lifestyle changes.

Exercising regularly can boost your productivity.

Whether your work involves a lot of sitting or a lot of movement, exercise can help. If you’re sitting at a desk all day, you need to move more to be more to increase circulation. That sends more oxygen and nutrient-laden blood to the brain. It perks you up and boosts your brain power. Studies how that regular exercise improves cognitive skills.

What if your job is physical?

If your job keeps you constantly moving, you may think you get adequate exercise and are exhausted at the end of the day. The best way to deal with exhaustion on the job is to get stronger. You also may be doing repetitive motions, leading to stress injuries. It doesn’t work all muscles, either.

Flexibility exercises can help prevent injury and a total body workout hits all muscle groups. Working on core strength can prevent injury from falls. Endurance workouts help you keep on going long after you would otherwise quit.

Your diet makes a big difference.

If you’re constantly reaching for something sweet to boost your energy, you may be depleting your energy. Sugary treats give you a rapid energy boost, but what goes up must come down. Just as quickly, your energy level crashes just as fast. Eating a healthy diet can help boost your energy and prevent conditions like heart disease, cancer, or diabetes. It can boost your immune system so you don’t lose time to illness. When you feel good, you perform better. Besides eating healthy meals, you need to plan healthy snacks.

• Getting adequate sleep improves your health and your productivity. When you sleep, your body heals itself to help you stay strong. Your brain cleans itself and reorganizes during deep sleep.
• Hydration is vital to productivity. Even mild dehydration can slow you down and make you feel exhausted. If you’re tired, don’t grab a cup of coffee. Drink a glass of water. You’ll feel energized almost immediately.
• Developing functional fitness is vital for everyone. It helps you prevent injuries that can put you on the sidelines for months. It doesn’t take much to injure yourself if you’re not functionally fit. Just bending down and tying your shoes can cause it.
• If you notice you tire quickly and aren’t as productive as you should be, always check with your healthcare professional. Before you start any exercise program, always get a checkup.
