Psychology

What to do when you feel anxious: ▫️ take deep breaths; ▫️ go for a brisk walk; ▫️ meditate for a while; ▫️ focus on puzzles; ▫️ summon a dark force to overpower your enemies; ▫️ hug your furry friend if you have one🐰 ❕ Of course, this is not therapy, and if anxiety disrupts your life and makes you feel worse over time - it's time to see a specialist. But if you feel just a slight discomfort that needs to be relieved - these tips are for you 😉

Stop being a perfectionist If you think you should stop working on a task only when it's done "perfectly," you'll have a bunch of unfinished tasks cluttering up your life. It's the same applies to waiting for "perfect conditions" or the "perfect mood" to complete some task. In that case, you will have to wait a very long time. 👉🏻 Don't put off tasks and learn to mark them as complete at the right moment. Once you get to the "good enough" point, move on to the next task. 👉🏻 If you have a project that you can't finish "good enough" right now, try to take a break and get back to it after you complete a few other, smaller tasks.

Postponing for later Putting things off for later is a common thing for a lot of people. But when the next day passes the same way, it turns into a habit. Sit down and think about what you really want to achieve, and think about how long it will take you to reach it. Promise to reward yourself for your efforts, organize yourself and develop the most important part of a successful person, self-discipline. This will bring you more joy and pleasure than a routine of sitting on the couch and watching a bunch of movies. If you want to change something in your life - start with this rule😉

If you spent a lot of time doing something, it doesn't mean you did a good job. Time doesn't equal productivity. 📝 Remember this and don't fool yourself: it's the quality of your work and the actual result that matters, not how many hours you've been doing it. Don't count hours, count the fruits of your labor.

Get rid of junk step by step Firstly, choose a day of the week when you have enough spare time. Then choose one area of your home that needs cleaning and organizing. For example, the children's room, the garage, the car, or the home office. Set yourself a daily goal to clear that area of all unwanted junk that takes up space as much as possible. Use containers, boxes and baskets to keep the space organized. You can buy some dedicated items or make them yourself using shoeboxes or old dishes. You also can paint or cover them with fabric in order to make them look appealing.

Stop comparing yourself to others Neither in reality, nor on social media. On the Internet, everyone tries to create the appearance of an ideal life, which should not be trusted. There's absolutely no need to compare yourself to some illusive virtual image. Can't get rid of the feeling that everyone is better than you? Then do the following: instead of comparing yourself to people you're interested in, try to find out how they succeeded.

5 ways to increase your productivity: ▫️Drink more water. Water makes your brain think and remember faster. ▫️Give yourself time to rest. It's worth taking at least a 10-minute break so that your brain has time to relax. ▫️Write down your plans. To make sure you don't forget anything and get everything done quickly, start writing down your plans for the evening, day, etc.. This way you will see your goals in front of you and it will motivate you to do your best. ▫️Don't be lazy. You should always fight your laziness, no matter how hard it is. The sooner you beat laziness, the sooner you will notice your productivity. ▫️Try to spend less time on your phone. Thus you will have more free time to devote to yourself or your studies.

This will fundamentally change the way you think. Feeling at ease and ready to take on a new day, you program yourself for success, therefore becoming more focused on being productive in respect to your goals.
