Take catnaps. You don’t necessarily have to sleep for an hour in the afternoon. But taking 10 to 20 minutes of rest should be enough to get you through the rest of the day. This would be especially helpful if you didn’t have enough sleep the night before.

Listen to music. Add a bit more life to your work routine by listening to music. The reason is that music tends to help our body produce more energy, making us feel less tired and more animated. You can take your pick whatever music you can relate with, as long as it can stimulate you – whether it’s dance hits from the 80s, or renowned opera classics.

Exercise more. Physical inactivity makes your body slow down, so start your day with exercise. You can go jogging outdoors or hump on the treadmill, do a few lapses at the pool or play badminton with your neighbor. It doesn’t matter, as long as your get moving. If you’re in the office, use part of your lunch break to engage yourself in exercise, even if it’s something as simple as walking outdoors.
