How to stay productive during lockdown

Have you ever felt drowsy and helpless while completing regular duties in Lockdown? If you answered yes, then this is the perfect read for you.

In the most basic sense, productivity refers to the ability to create and improve job efficiency throughout the day. For many of us, the Pandemic has harmed our productivity, which has a direct impact on our health, job, and emotional well-being. As a result, we’ve compiled a list of fifteen important strategies to help you stay productive throughout the lockdown.

Create a solid morning schedule: As the saying goes, “The beginning is the most crucial yet the most difficult part.” Yes, you read that correctly: create a proper morning routine for yourself the day before the actual day, and try to instil and follow those goals, putting a strong focus on them, whether or not they are achievable.

Prepare a nutritious breakfast routine: A clean body, a nutritious food, and regular exercise are the keys to a healthy body and mind. So, if you want to achieve your goals, try to get up before 9 a.m., take a daily bath to channel your energy, and then eat a good meal. In addition, to be productive, one should strive to exercise for 30-40 minutes each day to increase one’s body’s efficiency.

Catch up with Family and Friends: Instead of wasting time on social media in your spare time, catch up with your family and friends. Play board games and engage in enjoyable activities. Prioritize yourself over work or study at that moment. This strategy will help you cut down on your screen time while also boosting your mood.

Learn Something New: If you’re still bored, try learning something new during your free time. It could be something as simple as learning a new art form, reading books, enrolling in online classes, or taking up photography. Simply try to tap into your creative side and come up with original ideas.

Get Enough Sleep: Yes, this is one of those key advice that you may believe is unimportant at first, but it is crucial in the long run. Getting enough and good sleep aids the brain’s ability to carry out tasks. A person who does not get enough sleep is more likely to be drowsy and inactive throughout the day.

Don’t Procrastinate: While everyone of you will strive to offer your absolute best, you will occasionally become distracted or procrastinate. It’s also completely natural, yet enticing. So, at this point, try to take enough breaks, relax and meditate to let go of any unnecessary stress, and then rethink from a fresh perspective.

Yes, you can try reading something absolutely unrelated to your subject. For example, if you are a Science student, you might want to try reading history books or learning a new skill. Doing things that aren’t our main interests will help you broaden your horizons and give you a new perspective. Listen to music, audiobooks, and podcasts to help you relax. It will undoubtedly aid in the improvement of your hearing, focus, and communication abilities. On the other side, it’s a fantastic leisure activity.

Deep Clean Your Room: If you are a person who is concerned about cleanliness, this tip will be of little benefit to you. However, for those who find it difficult to clean and maintain their rooms, once a week is the ideal time to reorganize and deep clean your room.

Get a Green Thumb: Yes, if you are fortunate enough to have a balcony or a garden, you can try gardening. It is a time-consuming activity that allows us to connect with nature. Even if you don’t have access to a balcony or garden, you can keep a plant in a location in your home that receives sufficient solar light.

Create a Separate Workspace: If you’re having trouble studying or working in your room because of distractions or discomfort, you can move to another room or place where you’ll be more comfortable and able to do your daily chores.

Write a Journal/Blog: If you enjoy writing, I’m sure you’ve already started this project. Even if you are not interested in writing, you should keep a diary in which you record your daily activities, goals achieved, and any unique success or failure from which you can learn. You may find this task tedious at first, but trust me when I say that the after-effects are truly fantastic, and it will quickly become a habit.

Try Bird-Watching: Isn’t it boring to merely sit by a window and stare out? So, why not make this a fun project? Is there a way to make this tedious chore more interesting? Without a doubt. You can begin bird-watching right away. And don’t pretend you won’t be able to see them. Despite the continuous pandemic, humans are now causing far less environmental damage. And, since we aren’t out of our houses, these adorable little creatures have discovered their freedom and are boldly exercising it. So, sit back and have a look.

Help Needy People: If you are satisfied with your life in Pandemic, you should attempt to bring happiness to others as well. It does not apply to everyone, but if you are financially secure, even during the epidemic, attempt to volunteer for the less fortunate and assist them in their time of need.
