Winter feels like the day is always running out of your hands, like trying to hold onto water in your palms. The days are shorter, and it often feels as though time itself has shrunk. With dwindling dayling and the sun setting earlier, it can seem like there's less time to get everything done.
But by being mindful, you can stay ahead and keep up with your work. There are many studies examining the relationship between daylight and productivity. A study in particular delved into the effect of natural light on the overall health of office workers.
Offices with brighter lighting fostered higher productivity levels in employees. So, it’s no wonder that productivity levels seem to drop with the faint daylight in winter, accompanied by the compelling urge to snuggle under a blanket, stay in bed, and just let the day roll by. Then you sulk more, feeling guilty for wasting the day.
But here’s how you can take hold of your busy day and be productive.
