With winter fast approaching and snow on the ground, it can be really hard to stay motivated at work. Here are our top tips to improve your performance at working over the winter months!

Give yourself time to relax

Although there are lots of deadlines at this time of year and work can sometimes seem crazy, it’s important that you schedule in time to relax! Allowing yourself to recharge and stepping away from work for a little while will help to increase your levels of concentration and improve your performance at work.

Stay active

Although it’s really tempting to reduce your activity when it’s cold and dark, lower activity levels will ultimately harm your mood and reduce your motivation. Staying active throughout the winter months will help improve your energy levels and will have a positive impact on the quality of your work.

Make Lists

Lists are a great tool to keep you on track and ensure you don’t miss any looming deadlines. Creating a list at the start of each day or week will help you stay focused and avoid any unnecessary stress.

Don’t put things off

If there are tasks you really don’t want to do, try and get them out of the way as quickly as possible. Putting off work will harm your productivity, as you try to avoid unpleasant tasks. Finishing the work you like the least first will free up more time to spend on more enjoyable tasks and boost your performance.

Set goals

Setting yourself some long and short term goals can help boost your productivity. Having targets to aim for will help highlight areas for improvement and keep your work interesting. If you have nothing to aim for your job can become mundane and boring, and consequently, your motivation will suffer.

Dress for the weather!

Whether you work in a formal or casual environment, it’s important to adapt to the weather. Ensuring your workwear is appropriate for the weather will help keep you warm and comfortable at work.
