Feeling uninspired at work? Take a break and scroll through your favourite Instagram feeds. A study in the journal Cognition has shown that brief mental breaks and distractions can actually help improve your ability to focus on a task over a prolonged period. You’ll reach a point of mental fatigue sooner if you force yourself to plough on when you’re already feeling overwhelmed and burnt out.

TUESDAY! 

According to a survey by international staffing company Accountemps, Tuesday is the most productive day of the week. Almost six in 10 executives polled said they get the most work done then. The rationale? Monday acts as a “catch-up day” after the weekend, so many see Tuesday as the chance to refocus their efforts and create momentum for the week ahead.
