It’s been difficult to find motivation as the pandemic drags on, but a small addition to our morning routines could make all the difference.
The prolonged community quarantine has still left most working from home. Being a year into this extreme work setup experiment, it’s safe to say that remote work works, but so do office spaces. And without the need to travel to the office, we have a little more time to spend each morning kick-starting the day right.
Morning routines could play a role in an individual’s productivity throughout the day. And while we continue working from home, it’s worth a shot to try and boost your mood for the rest of the day! Set the tone by listening to podcasts to start the day that gets you physically and mentally motivated for work.
