Efficient Planning Plan an afternoon meeting or work on an exciting project in the afternoon when you normally might start feeling droopy. |

Focus on To Dos Stay focused on your to-do list. Challenge yourself to push through your list so you can check off the last few items before you go home for the day. |  |

Desk Exercises Get out of your chair and move. Do some jumping jacks, visit a friend across the office, or do a few stretches at your desk. Moving can get your heart pumping and re-energize your ability to concentrate. |  |
