Work Smart, Not Hard! Strategy to Maintain Performance #StayExcellent at the Office During Fasting

Kapanlagi.com - Gen Z is known as true multitaskers. From their POV, creative ideas often emerge that boost performance at work. However, during fasting, it becomes a unique challenge. For instance, the brain starts to slow down due to hunger, leading to symptoms of feeling weak and low energy, which usually occurs because the body lacks IONs.

If not anticipated well, work performance can drop, and creative ideas may stall. That's why you need to implement the work smart, not hard strategy, which is key to maintaining #StayExcellent performance at the office. What are the strategies?

1. Good Daily Task Management, So You Don't Fall Behind Towards Evening

Manage Daily Tasks Well, So You Don't Fall Behind Towards Evening

Good daily task management is the first step to remain productive. During fasting, the energy you have cannot be used to work all out throughout the day. So, try starting the day by making a to-do list and prioritize tasks that require high focus in the morning, when energy is still full. Avoid postponing important tasks until the afternoon, as this is usually a critical time when concentration begins to decline.

Use time management techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique or time blocking methods to keep work well-organized. If you start to feel overwhelmed, don't hesitate to delegate tasks or discuss with the team to find more effective solutions. With careful planning, you can remain productive without feeling burdened as evening approaches.

2. Stretching and Light Exercise Are Essential for Increasing Stamina

Who says exercise can't be done while fasting? In fact, light physical activities like stretching or yoga can help maintain stamina and prevent the body from feeling stiff after sitting for long periods in front of a laptop. There's no need for heavy exercise; just walking in the morning or doing yoga indoors is enough.

You can also use your lunch break to do light exercises, such as desk exercises that can be done from your work chair. Besides helping the body stay fit, light exercise can also improve focus and keep your mood stable! So, don't be lazy to stay active even while fasting.

3. Don't Stay Up Too Late, Getting Enough Rest Is Important

Staying up late may have become a habit for many people, whether it's due to scrolling through social media or watching favorite series. But during fasting, lack of sleep can be the main enemy that drains energy quickly and makes concentration easily disrupted. Try to get enough sleep, at least 6-7 hours every night, so that your body stays fresh the next day.

If you need to wake up earlier for sahur, try to go to bed earlier at night. Avoid caffeine consumption before sleep and create a comfortable room atmosphere to help you sleep better. A short nap of about 10-20 minutes can also be a solution to restore energy in the middle of the day without making your body feel weaker. With enough rest, you can remain productive throughout the day.

4. Choose Nutritious and Balanced Sahur and Breaking Fast Menus as Energy Sources

The food consumed during sahur and iftar plays a significant role in determining work performance while fasting. Choose a sahur menu that is rich in protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates so that energy can last longer. Avoid foods that are too sweet or oily as they can make the body tire more quickly.

Don't forget, it's also important to pay attention to body hydration. Don't let a lack of ION make you feel lethargic or weak during a full day of fasting. It's time to regularly drink Isoplus during sahur and iftar, which contains 7 complete IONs and Vitamin C that is easily absorbed by the body. The content of Isoplus is very suitable to drink during sahur to maintain body performance throughout the day while fasting. Drinking Isoplus during iftar is also important because its IONs can quickly hydrate the body after a day of fasting, thus boosting your spirit to finish the day excellently.

Maintaining performance #StayExcellent at the office while fasting is actually not that difficult, right? With a balanced lifestyle and regularly drinking Isoplus during sahur and iftar, you're guaranteed to stay enthusiastic and productive throughout the fast. Come on, try it now!
