Find a calm space. Close your eyes or soften your gaze. Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of four, feeling your abdomen rise. Gently hold for a count of two. Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six, letting go of tension. Repeat for 5-10 minutes, focusing solely on the sensation of breath. This simple practice grounds you.
For 25 minutes, choose one task and eliminate all distractions. Close unnecessary tabs, silence notifications, and put your phone away. Work only on that specific task until the timer rings. This Pomodoro-like approach trains your attention span.
Allocate dedicated, uninterrupted blocks (e.g., 60-90 minutes) for your highest-priority task. Silence notifications and close irrelevant tabs. Use a timer to stay committed. Begin with a single block daily.
Each morning, before checking devices, think of one specific small detail you're truly grateful for right now. It could be the warmth of your coffee, sunlight through the window, or a comfortable pillow. Feel it deeply for 20 seconds. Repeat this moment of appreciation whenever you feel overwhelmed.
Dedicate your prime energy to 1-2 Most Important Tasks (MITs) each day. Block out uninterrupted time, 60-90 minutes, for these tasks, free from distractions. Use a 'do not disturb' mode. Begin with your most challenging, high-impact work before emails or meetings.
When someone shares a struggle, resist immediate advice. First, Validate their feeling (e.g., 'That sounds incredibly tough.'). Second, Empathize by connecting to a similar feeling (e.g., 'I can imagine how draining that must feel.'). Third, Offer Support only if asked or appropriate (e.g., 'Is there anything specific I can do?'). This sequence fosters connection.
Dedicate 15 minutes to co-create a concise "Team Purpose Statement." Answer "Why do we do what we do?" then share and post it visibly.
Implement a 'Value Audit' for your daily tasks. Before committing, ask: 'Does this activity genuinely align with my core values and energy reserves? What is its true cost – not just in time, but mental and emotional bandwidth?' Decline tasks that drain more than they give, even if they seem minor.
Use the Eisenhower Matrix (Urgent/Important) to categorize tasks. Select 1-3 critical tasks for your primary focus block. Mute notifications and use a "Do Not Disturb" sign. If a non-priority thought arises, jot it down on a "Later List" and immediately return to your critical task.
