6 . How To Be More Productive At Work
Do you sometimes feel like you have a lot to do but very little time to do it? You are definitely having productivity problems but relax, it happens to everyone. Here are some important work tips that you can follow to improve your productivity.
Focus On One Task
Some people have the habit of multitasking (多重任务处理), which is great but it might distract you from the bigger picture. Multitasking might help you with different tasks, you might also feel like the master of all trades but your productivity won’t increase in the long run. Focus on one task at a time, this will allow you to complete that task with high standards.
Learn To Take A Break
This might seem a bit unbelievable at first but you really need to know when to take a break. Regular breaks are actually great at the workplace.
Set Small But Effective Goals
Many people love to perfectly carryout a task, but the thing is that perfection doesn’t actually exist. You can only do the best according to your abilities and wait for the results. You can also revisit some tasks or projects and try to improve them if you can.
A.Wait For The Best Results Patiently |
B.Forget About The Idea Of Perfection |
C.When the task is done, you can move on to the next one |
D.What matters at this time is to improve your productivity |
E.You are given large tasks, but what matters is how to deal with them |
F.You can also try this approach at home, if you are not being monitored |
G.They help in reducing stress and also increase your overall productivity |
7 . By my mid-20s, I’d finished my master in psychology, and I was working in Dublin as a health researcher. It was mostly data and statistics work staring at a screen. I was earning more than most of my friends, living the city life, going out at weekends. I had a good pension (养老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry.I was really unhappy.
I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something so I started thinking about the things I used to love. As a child, I’d always been involved in the outdoors, and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after secondary school. I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I’d gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it. It was like switching on a lightbulb. This was what I’d been missing.
I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid, and by August I was working my usual job in the week, and I was a climbing club leader at weekends. I loved connecting with nature, connecting with other people.
Through all this, I learnt about the whole field of nature-based therapies (疗法). It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology. I left my government job and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland, which is booming now.
I’d thought I’d always live in a city but last year, I moved to Tipperary to live at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by nature. If I’m feeling stressed, I can step outside in my bare feet and stand on the grass to ground myself. In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier—I had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space. My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks. My salary has halved for the moment but I’ve adjusted. I’ve never looked back.

8 . Working provides good experience
