5-minute routines to boost your productivity

You may think that 5 minutes is just a small amount of time and less than important than hours, well think again. The 5-minutes of your daily life spent on pointless things could waste half of your hour in a week and days in a year.

Every minute is important, that’s why we created a list of 5-minute routines that could make us more productive.

One of life’s basic essentials is water. It helps us function better in our daily tasks. To prove this, there’s a study conducted by the University of East London that drinking the right amount of water increases our productivity levels by 14%.

So if you’re currently working and need a recharge, go get up and drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated, folks!

Listen to music

This might sound silly but listening to music really helps us focus on tasks. Concentrating on work is challenging and we need something to keep us up. One thing that could increase our productivity is through music.

Go grab your earphones and listen to your favorite song to energize yourself before getting back to work.

Stretch your body

Sitting all day can be tiring and give a negative impact on our health. Stretching for 5-minutes can not only boost your productivity but it will also help our physical bodies.

Here’s a list of exercises you can do while sitting:

  • Triceps stretches
  • Overhead stretches,
  • Upper Body Stretch
  • Trunk Rotation
  • Hip and Knee Stretch
  • Hamstrings Stretch
  • Shoulder Shrug
  • Neck Stretches
  • Upper Trap Stretch
  • Wrist and Finger Stretches
  • Stress ball Stretch

Close your eyes

Working with a lot of things on your mind won’t help in getting things done. Therefore, shutting down your senses for a while helps you ease your mind and get back your concentration. Just make sure not to fall asleep.

Use efficient technology

There are also other factors that affect our productivity level and that is the technology around us. Yes, technology is getting faster as time goes by. But what if there’s a smartphone that can aid your productivity in a little amount of time?

Let’s admit it, we hate going out when our smartphone is not fully charged. Now, OPPO has this VOOC Flash Charge technology that makes the most out of your 5-minute charging time. The charge will provide you 2-hours worth of talk time.

5-minutes is never a small amount of time and with these steps, it’ll help us perform better and be efficient in our daily tasks. So the next time you see that you have 5-minutes left, don’t just waste it on nothing and instead do something about it.
