7 Mindset Tips For Getting Your Work Done

In this blog post, I’ll share with you my 7 mindset tips for getting your work done.

When you want to create a better day for yourself, you need to start out where you begin. This means having a morning routine at work as well as at home.

Think about this for a moment. A morning routine at home will set you up for success by getting you out of bed and ready to transition into wakefulness.

Likewise, a morning routine at work can get you settled into a mindset of getting work done and ready to face the work world. Think of it as a series of steps designed to transition you into productivity, but how?

Here are simple yet effective strategies in how you can do this!

Start with How You Get There

Don’t arrive stressed out at the very last second. To set yourself up for success, it’s important to arrive with time to spare after a relaxing commute. Strategize to make this happen by allowing enough time to get where you need to go.

Also, consider your route. Heavy traffic or construction is always more stressful in the long run, so you might want to adapt your route to a quieter one to reduce unwanted stress.

Schedule Check

What do you have going on today? What work is expected from you by what time? Get a mental picture of the day by noting what needs to happen when.

Set-Up

What needs to happen so you can get your work done? Are you lacking supplies or resources? Are there things you might need to delegate? Taking a few minutes to track down these items will help the rest of your day run more smoothly.

Habit Check

What detractors are already pulling at you, trying to derail your day? If you’re someone who checks your phone often or can get caught up socializing with coworkers, think about how you can limit these activities as part of your routine.

For example, you might want to schedule email checks at certain times or limit socialization to break times.

Make a List

Jotting down the 3-to 4 big items you want to get done today will help give you a clearer view of what needs doing and set up your goals.

Get Comfortable

Before you buckle down to work, do you need coffee? A Bathroom break? Do these things now, so you don’t have to break concentration later. Also, take a minute to stretch if you haven’t yet.

Begin

Time to get going. Take the first item on your list and dive in, concentrating fully on what you’re doing.

Of course, adapt your routine to fit whatever you need to get started for the day. The key here is to be intentional in your actions, shift your mindset, and set yourself up for success. Do only what works for you.

  1. Good tips! Email used to be my time waster. It got easier once it was put into categories (gmail) so I only get notifications when it’s personal mail I need to get to that day, rather than newsletters and other mail that takes me down a rabbit hole!

  2. Thank you! These are great tips, and many I have implemented in my life for years. I live by lists and if I didn’t check my calendar multiple times a day…well, lets just say I’d miss a lot of stuff lol. One thing I have always told my kids, “If you are not 15 minutes early, then you should consider yourself late.” Rules to live by!

  3. Great list and suggestions. Luckily I don’t work in an office setting anymore, which is good and bad. Working for home also has a lot of distractions. Someone suggested using this formula. I haven’t yet, but plan to try it soon. They said work for 40 mins, take a 10 min break, the work for 30 mins and take a 10 min break, then work 20 mins with a 10 min break, then 10 and 10. It seems like a good way to break up things while still giving you a break. Have you heard of this or used it? Any of your readers? If so, how has it worked for you? Thanks.

    1. Yes, many people use variations of the work formula you’re referring to manage their time and improve their productivity. No, I haven’t specifically used the exact formula. I’m not sure if my readers used the formula. But this formula can help improve productivity by allowing individuals to focus on a specific task for a set amount of time before taking a break to recharge and avoid burnout. The breaks also provide an opportunity to refresh the mind and reduce the chance of distraction or boredom. Additionally, the structured nature of this formula can provide a sense of routine and help individuals manage their time more efficiently.
