The positivity is back! I hope everyone is having a great day. These are 10 tips to get your daily work done with less stress:

1. Do just one thing at a time.

It will help you to get your task all the way to done, to feel less stressed and confused and you’ll do a better job compared to if you multi-task things.

2. Keep a minimalistic workspace.

It makes it easier to keep your focus and attention in the right place and to keep your thinking clear.

3. Go slow.

One good way to do more focused work is to go a bit slower than you may usually do.

4. Eliminate.

From time to time ask yourself:

What one task during my day or week can I simply eliminate and not do with few or no consequences?

5. Cycle 100% focused work with 100% full rest.

By doing things this way you'll help yourself to keep your mental sharpness and energy up for the whole day and workweek.

6. Don’t beat yourself up when things don’t go as planned.

Instead, be kind to yourself and smart with your energy and ask yourself:

What is one thing I can learn from this?

7. Let emails and other online checking wait until the end of the workday.

Or at least for a few hours.

Don’t start your day with going through your email – if possible – because it can add a lot of stress and suck away your limited energy and attention early in the day.

8. Limit your daily information input.

Regularly unsubscribe to blogs, podcasts, forums and email newsletters that doesn't add much value to your life anyway.

Keep only the most helpful, funny, inspiring and best ones.

9. Ask yourself questions every day that help you to find your focus.

What is the most important thing I can do right now?

What would I work on if I only had 2 hours for work today?

10. Focus mostly on the how to and not so much on the what-ifs.

Empower yourself by asking yourself:

What is one small step I can take right now to move forward towards my goal or out of this situation?

Build new habits one at a time starting very mini tiny.

First pick your mini tiny daily goal.
Pick it so it's so easy, it's almost effortless,
(takes less then 1 minute and creates feelings of tiny success).

That overcomes mental resistance,
creates good feelings,
and makes it easy to repeat daily.

Then after enough repetition,
the mini tiny habit will lock-in,
and it will become almost automatic
and easy to do without even thinking.

Then it can grow.

Yet always remember,
keep the habit goal
mini and tiny
to keep the habit going.

You can always to more,
but the goal must always stay mini and tiny.

That's the secret to
building new habits and
keeping new good habits alive and growing.
