Are You Working to Integrate or to Suffocate?

Don't let multi-tasking rule your work day in today's already high-stress workplace where longer work weeks, fewer raises, and too few vacation days have become the norm. You owe it to yourself to find new ways to make your life both enjoyable and productive.

You can learn to Integrate or Suffocate!

That dreaded phrase, multi-tasking, is translating into new responsibilities piled way too high upon way too many demanding deadlines for today's already overworked labor force. You cannot give your full focus on any one project if you're multi-tasking because you are trying to do too much simultaneously: talk on your cell phone, check email and look at reports while someone walking by waves because they want some time with you as well. It makes you want to pull your hair out!

If you can't interject some enjoyment, you're left with Suffocating, and you won't want that. It's a great idea to integrate enjoyable things to do into your work routine instead. It's a simple, but very effective way to better manage the hours in your day, stave off high stress, and achieve more focus and productivity.

Here are Nine Ways to Integrate vs. Suffocate

Take a walk outside the office or up and down the stairs to other floors (yes, you can read this as: exercise) while poring over assignments or proof reading completed work. Do discreet stretching exercises while on the phone with a client. Take the kids and a spouse or caretaker along on an out-of-town business trip. Schedule a fun activity for them while you're working and meet them later for a fun dinner in a new place that each of you can enjoy.

Or, consider integrating an out-of-town meeting with a visit to an old friend who lives nearby. Spend a few extra minutes each morning just planning your day. Try spending a few extra minutes each morning incorporating fun "to do" activities with your "To Do" work list. Pick one night a week to schedule a fun activity with your friends, and keep one weekend day open just to regroup.

The point is this: If you have a fun activity that is healthier for you integrated into your working day, your level of stress of just thinking about the huge load of work will be radically decreased. You're always going to have a big workload, so if you spend time balancing your more enjoyable lifestyle in with your work, you'll look forward to weaving more enjoyment into your work activities.
