The warm and bright sun is more set to rest, rather than to work. In order not to lose productivity, you need to revise your work schedule and use some tricks. How to concentrate on work when the weather is nice outside?
Know your work habits
If you know that you focus best in the morning, then make yourself wake up early and make the most of your peak energy.
If you know that you can focus on the street at a picnic table or on a sun lounger, then work on the street and enjoy the weather. Make sure that nothing distracts you on the street, otherwise it will not work productively.
Break your work day
Instead of suffering all eight hours of continuous operation, set the timer to an hour and work during that time. When the timer goes off, take a five-minute break: get up, stretch, do a little workout, drink some water. Break your daily plan into several parts, this will help you focus and work productively.
Check the weather for a week and plan your work.
Watch the weather forecast for a week. If everything is easy for you in cool weather, plan most of the tasks for cool or rainy times. At this time, work until late, try to stay focused and productive.
In hot weather, you can retire, leave the office, meet with friends. This advice is not suitable for those who work in a company where it is difficult to determine your work schedule. But for freelancers and all people with a free schedule, this will be the optimal mode of work on hot days.
Reward yourself
If you complete your to-do list a day earlier, reward yourself by leaving the office early to enjoy the good weather.
If you need to stay at work until 17:00, reward yourself with breaks and food in the fresh air. Set a goal: if you fulfill your daily plan, you can give yourself pleasure after work. It can be anything: to leave work early, have coffee with a friend or just take time for yourself to enjoy the weather. Stimulate yourself to stay focused on work.
A few tricks for greater productivity
