Practice Gratitude and Forgiveness<\/h3>\n<p>Exercises that focus on gratitude and forgiveness have been linked to increased decision-making abilities. Studies show that feeling and expressing gratitude <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/newsletter_article\/in-praise-of-gratitude\" rel=\"nofollow\">positively influences emotions and health<\/a> and can improve your sense of well-being by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/happierhuman.com\/benefits-of-gratitude\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">10%<\/a> making you more productive. Effective gratitude and forgiveness exercises include Gratitude Journaling, writing letters, <a href=\"https:\/\/copycrafter.net\/custom-term-paper-writing.html\">custom term papers<\/a>, and forgiveness visualization.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Create New Habits Easily<\/h3>\n<p>Research shows that it takes on average <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainpickings.org\/2014\/01\/02\/how-long-it-takes-to-form-a-new-habit\/\">21 days to create a new habit<\/a>. Great tools for cultivating new habits (or getting rid of old ones) through behavior training include <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/pavlok\" rel=\"nofollow\">the Pavlok wristband<\/a> (offline), and the Pavlok <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/pavlok-productivity\/hefieeppocndiofffcfpkbfnjcooacib\" rel=\"nofollow\">Chrome extension<\/a> (online).<br \/>\nPavlok wristbands help to break bad habits and build good ones by following your habits through internal sensors, motion tracking, and digital data. The wristband delivers a stimulus when you engage in that habit. Your brain then associates the stimulus with the habit, creating an aversion for bad habits or a positive association for good ones.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Use Music To Increase Your Attention Span<\/h3>\n<p>Apps such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focusatwill.com\/app\/pages\/v7\" rel=\"nofollow\">Focus@will<\/a> can boost your attention span by up to 400% using neuroscience-based music channels to help you focus.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Practice Meditation Daily<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meditation has a positive impact on productivity, self-control, and memory. Even 5 minutes of meditation daily increases focus and attention, decreases depression and stress, and makes you more compassionate. The ideal length for meditating differs from person to person, but it is between <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulnessandpsychotherapy.com\/blog\/how-long-should-i-meditate\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 and 45 minutes per day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5.

Vitamin D<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-929\/vitamin-d\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin D<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> improves cognitive performance by offering protection from free radical damage.

Recent findings indicate that sleep deprivation causes economic losses to US companies of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rand.org\/pubs\/research_reports\/RR1791.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$411 billion per year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the equivalent of 1.23 million working days).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adults need between <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/press-release\/national-sleep-foundation-recommends-new-sleep-times\/page\/0\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 and 9 hours<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> per night for peak productivity, and sleeping less than 6 hours per night increases a person\u2019s mortality risk by 10%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>20. Use Blackout Curtains or a Sleep Mask<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/sleep-polls-data\/other-polls\/2012-bedroom-poll\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">73% of Americans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rated a dark room as an essential factor for getting a good night\u2019s sleep. Light inhibits the secretion of melatonin (a hormone that naturally promotes sleep). By keeping your bedroom as dark as possible, you give yourself the best chance of a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>21. Create and Follow a Sleep Schedule<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Create a habit by following the same routine in the evening, and setting an alarm for the same time every morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>22. Block Blue Light 3 &#8211; 4 Hours Before Sleep<\/h3>\n<p>This should mean avoiding TV and mobile phones, but that is not always realistic. <a href=\"https:\/\/gunnar.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Gunnar<\/a> orange-tinted glasses can come in handy. Ensure that the lights in your home are fitted with Philips Hue light bulbs or use color-changing LED strips available from Amazon or IKEA.<\/p>\n<h3>23. Keep Your Bedroom Cool<\/h3>\n<p>As you fall asleep, your body temperature naturally drops. By cooling your bedroom, you can jumpstart the process making it easier to drift off; <a href=\"http:\/\/sleepfoundation.org\/bedroom\/touch.php\">60 &#8211; 67 degrees<\/a> Fahrenheit is considered ideal.<\/p>\n<h3>24. Meditate Before Sleep<\/h3>\n<p>Meditation before sleep calms the mind; this practice of relaxation can work to prevent insomnia as well as helping a person fall asleep faster. A university study found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/inspired-life\/wp\/2015\/05\/26\/harvard-neuroscientist-meditation-not-only-reduces-stress-it-literally-changes-your-brain\/\">58% of insomniacs significantly improved<\/a> the quality of their sleep by meditating before bed.<\/p>\n<h3>25. PRO LEVEL: Download a Sleep Tracking App<\/h3>\n<p>Sleep apps help track circadian rhythms by measuring sleep cycles and REM sleep, sleep latency (how long you take to fall asleep), and they can also help you wake up at the right time based on your sleep cycle. There is a range of different sleep tracker apps to choose from including Sleep Cycle, SleepBot, Pillow, and Sleep Better.<\/p>\n<h2>Disclaimer:<\/h2>\n<p>The content in this article is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
