Your email inbox is overflowing, you’ve got a day full of meetings, you didn’t finish that research yesterday, and you’ve got that presentation due in two days. Sound familiar? I’ve had a few of these days, so set about finding ways to manage my workload better. The overarching approach to how I manage my workload is to trust in my decisions and create positive habits. 

Here are the top five ways I made my workload more manageable and less stressful; And I became more productive as a result!

1. Gmail is your best friend!

I appreciate you may not be using Gmail, so here’s my first tip; if you can, switch now.

A cluttered inbox always leads me to distraction, but having a well-managed inbox helps reduce stress and frees up headspace.

This isn’t the typical type of post you might find on Distilled’s blog. I’ve always been a glass half full person but the honest answer is that my positive attitude is a result of listening, learning, testing and being open to the world. I’m going to give you my approach to being positive at work.

It didn’t happen overnight; it took time and practice. You’ve got to want to be positive!

The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life.
