In a world with many distractions, people are trying their best to improve their performance at work. We have resorted to using apps on our phones and habit trackers to try our best to stay focused.

However, using self-control strategies to manage our energy throughout the day is actually one of the best ways we can improve our performance. In this short, I will highlight five ways you can improve your performance at work.

1. Beginning Our Days Right

Unfortunately, many people start their day rushing to get somewhere on time or behind on their planned schedule. When we do this, we start our days out of control of our situation and this affects our performance at work.

Try waking up with a good amount time before starting your day to be in control of your morning. That way, you start your day on the right foot and are more likely to have high energy before starting work.

2. Complete Aversive Tasks in the Morning

The majority of individuals will experience an afternoon slump in their days. We often refer to this as after-lunch snooze or tiredness. It is natural for humans to have an afternoon slump, and preparing for it is essential.
