Laziness is not an option in the new world, even though it is in historically in our art and literature. Without stress and sadness, you have to adapt to the rapidly flowing world. The most important competence is to continuously get these tools for this adaptation. Use your time preciously; learn with podcasts, videos, follow the experiences of the people in the field. Focus on that you have pleasure to do. Don't loose your focus in a given time period. Soon, you will get the basic specialization.

Stashed ideas

Stress is an inescapable part of life. However, we often get upset and worry about stuff that has little importance. The state of stress has an impact on the body and the mind, so when we pile up more and more problems, it makes us more tired than we would be otherwise. When we can reduce the amount of stress we feel over inconsequential situations or problems that will be resolved quickly, we save our energy for more important things.

1. Stressing over small things

The lack of a vision of what you truly want in life can make you feel easily tired and less likely to be motivated. You might perceive your tasks to lack a purpose, so they seem unnecessary or tiresome on their own. Finding your vision can help you find the worth and meaning in what you do every day. Look to the future, see what you want, and connect that desire with every task and decision you have to complete.

2. Not having a vision

You might feel like you have to work all the time, always engaged and productive. Not taking breaks or time to rest leads to a state of constant exhaustion that doesn’t go away when you sleep. Make sure that your day is properly organized and features time to rest as well as time to work and be productive. Ultimately, taking breaks will help you get better results and show your creativity.

3. Not taking breaks

We spend a big chunk of our lives at work, and a dull or toxic job can drain our batteries. Having to do work you struggle with, that stresses you out due to the work itself or the environment, or being in a job that is highly monotonous can leave you feeling emotionally or physically tired.A work that you find meaningful and exciting can help you feel more engaged and energized rather than just tired. You might need to find a new workplace that has better interpersonal relationships and offers better support, new work opportunities that excite you or try to find meaning in the work you do.

4. Working at a job you dislike

A fixed sleep cycle when we go to bed and rise roughly around the same time every day is good for our health. At the same time, moving it around can hurt our health and make us feel tired even if we get our full 8 hours. We tend to feel worse when we sleep in late or go to bed late at night, especially after 2 a.m. If we don’t have fixed hours, we might get less rest and lower sleep quality, as well as struggle more with falling asleep and waking up.

5. Having an irregular sleep cycle

We need to get enough nutrients to support our body through the day. If we are tired all the time, we might require more of them in our diet. This refers both to elements like proteins, fats, and carbs, as we must have enough for our body to successfully execute all our internal processes. Adding more vitamins to your diet and making sure you are getting everything you need can make a difference in your fatigue levels.

6. Lacking nutrients

7 Self Improvement Actions All Leaders Must Take﻿

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” ―Ernest HemingwayThe importance of personal and professional development&nbsp;for current and aspiring leaders can’t be overstated. It’s the secret to separating yourself from the pack, the bridge that carries you toward the goals you have yet to reach. And the only way to continually forge a path people will follow you down.

We often waste immense amounts of time investing in things that numb us to the reality of how short life is―such as scrolling the internet and social media for hours on end or watching TV to the point of restlessness. Entertainment is fun, but how much time do we save for ourselves? For career growth? How often do we set aside dedicated time for personal development, where we are learning and growing in a way that defines our existence? Usually not enough.

1 - Actively Improve Self-Awareness: Emotional intelligence is crucial for effective leadership in any environment. Possibly now more than ever. Simply put, EI is the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately. The ability to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goals.

Here are seven self improvement actions all leaders must take: 

Emotional intelligence can be broken down into self-awareness, self management, social awareness, and relationship management. In volatile environments, panic is contagious. But so is staying calm, confident, and communicative.

In this largely virtual world we are all living and working in, the walls of the already existing silos have thickened, straining relationships, the flow of information, and the ability to do basic things like read body language. Leaders need to learn how to properly over-communicate. Now hold on, before you start packing more Zoom meetings into the already jammed schedule, consider what I mean. Within an appropriate timeframe of already existing meetings, make time to ensure the objectives are clear, concise, measurable and timebound. Set standards for proper virtual meeting etiquette.

2 - Enhance Communication Style and Technique

And most importantly, we must ensure each team member is immensely clear on their role in mission success. Many teams and employees have had to adapt, which means new activities, new actions, new processes and procedures. Never assume you’ve communicated enough.

This goes back to the reference of emotional intelligence. Empathy has always been a leadership quality imperative for truly connecting with others, for building meaningful relationships, and for improving the ability to inspire others, enhance engagement, and effectively provide feedback. Now, with most leaders and managers learning to lead remote teams, empathy is crucial for connecting with each team member’s unique work-from-home situation.

3 - Learn to Show Greater Degrees of Empathy

Ability x Motivation = Performance. This is a multiplication formula because if either ability or motivation are zero, performance equals zero. Adding in the pressures of social isolation on top of already low levels of engagement (in even well-run organizations), leaders must learn first how to stay motivated, and then coach others in self-motivation. External motivation is fleeting. Employees need tools and resources to keep themselves at the top of their game.

4 - Develop Skills in Motivating Self and Others

True leaders are life-long learners and never satisfied with the status quo. Always seeking transparent feedback and accountability mechanisms they can use to be in a constant state of improvement. They actively seek mentors and coaches that prepare them not for their existing level of leadership necessity, but for the next. Great leaders always assume the battlefield will change and become more complex. For this they must prepare. Leaders also need tools to learn how to truly mentor and coach direct reports. This is far more important than simply training them is a specific job function.

5 - Invest Time in Mentorship and Coaching

Change leadership is arguably the most challenging burden of command, yet critical for leading in any environment. To continually drive better business outcomes despite the inevitable obstacles we all face, requires continuous transformation when it comes to effectively leading change.

6 - Improve Change Leadership Capability

Over the past eight months, my firm has been working closely with organizations such as Google, Sales Force, GSK, and the NFL predominantly in the areas of leading and managing remote teams, work-from-home best practices, and building a virtual culture. But one of the pieces of advice we always impart on leaders is the importance of wellness. Mind and body. It’s far more challenging to lead a team through uncertainty when you lack the energy and focus to stay the course. We encourage making time for fitness, meditation, reflection, reading, healthy eating, more sleep and less alcohol!

7 - Manage Anxiety Through Better Wellness Activities

Many elements of our current environment are wrapped in permanency. We are pulled in many conflicting directions. Leaders must take total ownership over their growth and development. And as Brian Tracy says, “Personal development is a major time-saver. The better you become, the less time it takes you to achieve your goals.”

The importance of personal and professional development for current and aspiring leaders can’t be overstated. It’s the secret to separating yourself from the pack, the bridge that carries you toward the goals you have yet to reach. Now more than ever!
