Whether it was a bad few days at work, a breakup, or a fight with your bff, sometimes we all just need some time on the couch. Taking time out for ourselves is always a great answer, but too much chill time isn\u2019t good for anyone. Rehab mode of watching our favourite shows while eating some ice cream is cool for a bit, but eventually, you gotta get back to adulting.<\/p>\n
Here are 4 easy things to do to boost your productivity.<\/p>\n
Step one is making it so retreating and being a hermit in your hobbit-hole isn\u2019t an option anymore. Go out with a friend or two, schedule an event, go to a knitting circle \u2013 anything<\/em>, just get yourself out of the house. When you\u2019re out and about you\u2019ll immediately feel energized and think about all the things you want to do again. Home is great, but home is where you\u2019re supposed to shut down and sleep at the end of a long night, not where 100% of your free time should be.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to be a couch potato when you\u2019re apartment looks like a smelly old burlap sack. We vibe off our environments, and when our environments are cluttered, messy and dirty, they\u2019re ground zero for feelings of inadequacy, laziness and depression. When you clean up, you gain back your agency and feeling of control, and these feelings are step one into being productive again.<\/p>\n It\u2019s all well and good to say that working out is one of the best and healthiest ways to be productive, but when you\u2019re stuck in the middle of a couch, doing a lap around the block is the very last thing you\u2019ll ever want to do. Instead of that, try with the smallest of small exercises. Do five pushups. Walk up and down some stairs. Lift up a heavy thing. It doesn\u2019t have to be much to start and it doesn\u2019t even have to make you sweat \u2013 just let your body get used to the fact that you don\u2019t really want to sit around anymore, and it\u2019ll respond in kind!<\/p>\n It\u2019s way easier to be lazy when you\u2019re sitting in your pyjamas. When you\u2019re actually dressed, it\u2019s much easier to get out and do other things!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whether it was a bad few days at work, a breakup, or a fight with …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":2596,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"coauthors":[220],"class_list":["post-2595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rental-guides"],"yoast_head":"\nClean up<\/h2>\n
