The second biggest factor affecting your productivity is your physical health, and, actually, mental health too. Needless to say that we all are being exposed to a wide variety of mental and physical health issues. If not treated accordingly and timely, these issues can really hold you back from being your most productive self. After all, how can you possibly be productive at work or college when you are feeling stressed, anxious, or experiencing actual physical health issues?

How to change this, you may wonder? The answer is simple – start taking good care of your physical and mental health right now. Start by improving the quality of sleep and nutrition. As you all should know, proper meals and sleep are the two main things affecting a person’s overall well-being.

Apart from this, be sure to listen to your body and recognize any red flags it might be showing you. For example, ongoing headaches, abnormal blood pressure or heart rate, and a constant feeling of exhaustion – these and all other kinds of issues might signal there is something wrong with your health. So, be sure to pay attention to them and address these issues ASAP.

In addition to that, start doing sports. It has been numerously proven that doing sports positively affects one’s health, brain function, concentration, and, of course, productivity.

Finally, don’t forget about your mental health. Allow yourself some “me time,” go out with friends, do things that you enjoy, and take regular breaks. Remember that the more rested and healthy you feel, the better you can perform in all different areas of your life.
