Tips to schedule rest into your work day
3:56:16 2023-09-10 952

Understanding that rest isn't just about sleep means that you can't pile it all on at the end of the day. You can prevent yourself from being truly drained by incorporating opportunities for rest into your work day. Here are 4 ways to make different types of rest a part of your day:

• Use technology to your advantage

There are a number of apps that help tune out distractions or remind you when it's time to rest. If you want to keep it simple, try setting a timer to remind yourself to take a break.

• Create a "hard stop"

Setting boundaries at work can be difficult — particularly when you work from home. If you have a tendency to work past closing time or pile on extra hours, try scheduling something after work. Shifting gears can help you get into "rest mode."

• Bundle different types of rest

Be intentional and creative about using your time off to maximize your rest. If you have a free afternoon or a day off, combine one or more types of rest. You could try taking a walk on the beach with a friend (social, creative, physical) or volunteer (mental, spiritual).

• Rest early and often

Don't wait until you feel depleted to start filling your tank. Plan short breaks throughout the day and look ahead to see when you might want to take a few days off. Allow a buffer between activities and meetings so you don't get overwhelmed.

Making sure you get all of the different types of rest requires a shift in mindset. When you embrace the idea that being busy doesn't necessarily mean being productive, you can build rest into your day without guilt. Even a few minutes of the different kinds of rest can help you be more productive, creative, and satisfied with your day.
