Expert advice on everything from interview tips to salary negotiation skills.
We all know that time after lunch, when your desk starts to resemble a feather pillow and as your vision blurs and your eyelids droop, you notice the office collectively falling into a lull. But duty calls; you’ve got reports to write, calls to make and other things (deemed important enough that you’ve written them on a post-it note) to do.
If you’re experiencing an ‘afternoon slump’, your to do list seems to be growing at the same time that your productivity level is suffering and frustration sets in.
You’re probably well aware that there are changes you can make to your home routine that will help, like having a healthy breakfast each morning and getting enough sleep at night. Here are a few things you could try though, if you’re in the midst of an afternoon slump and can’t go back in time to squeeze some breakfast in.
In some cases, people that experience an afternoon slump may have a medical condition, so if you’ve tried all of the above measures and are still suffering from afternoon fatigue, you should consult your doctor.
