Apples are Natures Energy Drinks
Need a quick get up and go but don’t want to rely on caffeine or energy drinks that taste like battery acid? That’s fine, eat an apple instead!

The Neuroscience Of Getting More Done
There’s plenty of tricks we can pull on our brains to make ourselves more productive. Let’s do a quick rundown of the best methods according to neuroscientists.
Play Music While You Work

Wake When You’re Ready
Forcing yourself to waking up super early to get more out of your day sounds like a good idea, but it’s better to wake only after you’ve had a sufficient amount of time to ‘sleep on it’. It’s also a way better to problem solve than staying up all night beavering away at the trouble.
Fill Your Workspace With Greenery
A lot of things in our office environment is draining your attention, your screen and all the man-made objects cluttering up your attention. This depletes your mind’s attention, and is difficult to rejuvenate. Having greenery also pulls your mind’s attention, but it appears to not have the same draining effect, giving your mind a well deserved rest.
