In today’s tech-driven world, it’s easy to become engulfed in work, leaving little or no time for personal passions or interests. In spite of that, technology is a leading solution to making our life more accessible than ever before. So, how can we leverage technology to resurface and rekindle our hobbies buried deep within? Here are some practical advice to help keep the flames burning for hobbies and personal interests:
- Wind down from work before bedtime
Use Meditation apps to transition from work to rest mode
It’s easy to become lost in tasks, especially when juggling complex problems. Days might blend together, and burnout is inevitable. Giving yourself time to settle down after a long day of work before going to bed is crucial to build a healthy relationship with work. Consider using relaxation apps, such as meditation or mindfulness to help transition from work mode to rest mode.
2. Stay focused during work hours
Use Tools like TEAMCAL AI for timeblocking
This might seem counterintuitive to maintain a work life balance, but managing to get all your work done for the day gives you enough time to rest and relax afterwards. Consider it this way: once your work is complete, you’re free to enjoy yourself. In this way, apps that utilize time blocking, where you can allocate specific blocks of time for different tasks or activities is advantageous to stay focused.
3. Reward yourself
Set Goals and Celebrate small success
On the other spectrum, if you find yourself constantly getting lost in your work, especially with endless tasks that demand attention and attentiveness, consider apps that help you set goals and track your progress. Stop drowning yourself with tasks piled back to back. Instead, alternate between work tasks and personal life activities. Consider rewarding a difficult work task with a fun, engaging activity.
