You feel bored with work? The reasons may be many, but for the majority of workers the reason is usually the monotony of doing the same thing every day. Well, time to shake things up a bit, ladies...
Find Another Route
Okay, maybe the route you are taking now is the "result" of trial and error to find the route that is least congested. Traffic jams are already effective in saturating you, so why not try taking the commuter line or busway ? According to studies, a new approach in your daily activities will rejuvenate your brain. "One of the keys to brain health is changing routines," says Paul Nussbaum, PhD, author of Save Your Brain. It wouldn't hurt to try, right ?
Take a Walk
Your job is 9 to 5, but that doesn't mean you can only stand at lunch or when you get home. Seriously, many studies reveal that sitting for too long carries a big risk to your health (they even call it “ the silent killer ”). So get up, and walk either down the hall or you can just into the lobby or outside the building for a breath of fresh air. Invite your colleagues (who are not busy) so that at least you have someone to talk to to discuss the hot topic of the day.
Clean Your Desk, Please!
Yes, there are cases where a worker feels bored when he sees the messy condition of his desk. Sometimes this can be a reflection of the clutter in your brain, you know, so help "clean" your brain by cleaning your desk surface first. You don't have to do it all at once—you can "install it" over a few days. You will love that feeling of cleanliness, dear...
Socialize More
Workaholic is okay, but don't neglect personal interactions with colleagues. Invite them to talk or to go to the gym together during lunch time. Even at lunch, don't get stuck in the same places to eat again— try a new place for a change. As a bonus, your brain can "rest" and even be able to help it free from certain diseases. "An interactive lifestyle can help modify the risk of developing genetic dementia," says Michelle Carlson, PhD.
