		AVOID OVERWHELM WITH THESE BRAIN BOUNDARIES Pinterest Ever caught yourself asking, "Where did all the time go?" If you find yourself at the end of the day wondering why your to-do list still looks daunting, you're not alone. Our default work mode tends to be reactive, which leaves us feeling swamped by all the tasks left untouched. By managing our thoughts and not just frantically responding to every demand, we can work smarter, not harder.  FOCUS FITNESS To power through your tasks with laser focus, you need to harness your working memory. The more dialed-in your attention, the longer you'll retain what you're working on and zip through tasks. To snap back your focus, try a simple trick: count backward from 100 to zero. It's like hitting the refresh button for your brain! DO NOT DISTURB Boosting your focus means laying down the law with your tech gadgets. Notifications are the enemy of impulse control, turning even the simplest tasks into a Herculean effort. Declare your workspace a "Do not disturb" zone for peak productivity.   5 Tips for Rebooting Your Brain   We have the ability to "reboot" our brains and make new neural pathways. Let's explore some techniques to empower your brain to reset itself… THE "LET IT GO" LOOP Just like a dog who can't stop barking at a squirrel, our brains sometimes latch onto stressors. This "Let it Go" loop means recognizing when to release stress to regain focus. Whether it's a minor annoyance or a major worry, learning to let go helps your brain bounce back to business. BRAIN BREAKS Give your brain the pit stops it deserves. Whether it's daily downtimes, weekend wanderlust, or vacation vibes, taking breaks boosts productivity. Studies confirm that stepping away for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or a few days increases productivity and creativity. Plus, it helps you mentally reset, reducing the risk of stress carryover to the next workday.
