<p class="p2"><b>1. Schedule Small Breaks</b></p>
<p class="p1">Sometimes the last thing you want to do when you&#8217;re exhausted is to stand up and move around. However, scheduling small breaks to move around is one of the best productivity tips.</p>
<p class="p1">Getting the blood flowing a bit and giving yourself a mental break will work wonders in your daily office routine. Your breaks don&#8217;t have to draw attention from others. It can be as simple as getting up, taking the stairs to the bottom floor, and walking back up to your desk.</p>
<p class="p2"><b>2. Look Away Sometimes</b></p>

<p class="p1">Looking at a screen for too long can start to strain your eyes. This causes headaches and feelings of fatigue.</p>
<p class="p1">Every 20 to 30 minutes, look away at something 20 feet away from you. Sing the happy birthday song to yourself as your look, and return to your work once the song is over.</p>
<p class="p1">Also, no, looking at your phone doesn&#8217;t count.</p>
<p class="p2"><b>3. Sit Straight</b></p>

<p class="p1">Sitting up straight will take the strain off your neck and back. It&#8217;s alarming how much we slouch in the day.</p>
<p class="p1">Strengthen your back and core muscles with <a href="https://www.coachmag.co.uk/fitness/core-exercises"><span class="s1">different ab workouts</span></a>, and be amazed by the difference it makes. You can even do a quick yoga routine in the mornings before work to build strength.</p>
<p class="p2"><b>4. Keep Distance</b></p>
<p class="p1">When setting up a home office right now, one of the best working from home tips is setting your computer monitor at least an arm&#8217;s length away from where you sit.</p>

</div>

<p class="p1">Being close to our computer and phone screens all the time is damaging.</p>
<p class="p2"><b>5. Don&#8217;t Bend Your Neck</b></p>
<p class="p1">If your job requires talking on the phone a lot, do your best to hold the phone to your ear without bending your neck. Bending your neck to hold the phone between your neck and shoulder creates neck strain.</p>
<p class="p1">Take some time to roll your neck back and forth after phone calls to stretch it out.</p>
