Personal ANNecdotes

Personal ANNecdotes - Creative Non-Fiction - My Personal Blackhole.

 How do you keep yourself 'pumped' & 'active' on a typical workday?


Here are some useful tips which I do on a daily basis. I hope it helps in keeping your energy levels up and pumping everyday. 


1. Take a cup of coffee, black if possible. ☕


3-in-1 variants have a lot of sugar & will add to unnecessary weight in the future. Mind the amount of sugar you put in, too. 😊


Caffeine is a natural stimulant and keeps the mind active for a certain period of time. But, too much of a good thing is bad, too. Limit intake AT MOST to 2 cups per day & avoid taking coffee after 2 pm. You need to sleep as well! 


If you're not a coffee person, go for tea instead. 🍵


2. Stand up and move every hour. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️


Movement promotes higher oxygen levels to the body. Oxygen helps in maintaining our focus and gives us a relaxed feeling. 


Have a pretty tight deadline to complete? You need more oxygen to help you remain focused and ready to take on those difficult tasks. 


3. Organize your workspace. 


I don't know about you but, I find it hard to work in a cluttered space. 😊 


Plus, it's easy when things you need are within reach and easy to find. Unnecessary movements like looking for something you need also affects attention and focus. 


3. Take stretch breaks. 


Back pain, headaches and muscular tension result from poor posture and prolonged sitting. Movement also promotes better blood circulation.

Since most people are in a work from home setup nowadays, people are forgetting to move and take a leisurely walk during breaks. To compensate, you can do simple stretches now and then. 


4. Take breaks.


And that means taking your lunch when you have to!


I know we're all tempted to complete tasks at once even at the expense of missing meals. But, what people fail to realize is that they are compromising their health and productivity when skipping meals.


Nutrition plays an important role in keeping the mind sound and active. Plus, isn't it difficult to think on a grumbling stomach? 😉🍱


5. Get a good night's sleep.


Sleep plays an important role in wholistic body repair. Aside from keeping you healthy, it also allows you to keep your focus on the screen.


It also gives you a better mood and gets you ready for all of the challenges that a typical workday offers. 


6. Create your work playlist. 


I have a personal work playlist which I listen to while completing important SAP configuration or testing. It allows me to focus and do my work. 


A happy playlist keeps my energy up. Gloomy songs may put your mood down. 


But, if music is not your thing, a quiet workspace may do the job for you. 


That's it for me today & I'm hoping to add more to my working list. 


What's your favorite activity to keep you up & ready for a workday? Comment or share below because I would love to read your thoughts. 😊💯

On Raphaelle's Wings

RAPHAEL is one of the seven guardian angels who protect mankind and follow God's plans.

While some people believe that he was the angel meant to give luck to cockfighters and betters, Raphael was actually there to guide and heal the brokenhearted.

Thus, Raphael meant "God heals."


This is my corner amongst the sea of many identities and characters.

This blog contains the many thoughts, questions and ponderings that my mind held for so long.

So, sit back, relax and prepare to take a flight.

Let Raphaelle's (my female persona) wings take you on a journey beyond compare, to a faraway land you sought to conquer, touch, see and hold.

Chinggayan Corner!
