The psychologist named ways to keep productive in the summer
The summer period is traditionally associated with a decrease in work activity, but in fact, during this period, on the contrary, work activity increases. In addition, a properly organized work and rest regime will help to avoid burnout. Psychologist Tatiana Smirnova told Izvestia about this on May 29.
The expert noted that summer is an ideal time to strengthen the team spirit in the team. "Outdoor sports events, joint hikes or team games help not only to relax, but also to rally employees," Smirnova explained.
For those who cannot take a full—fledged vacation, the psychologist recommends active weekends - walks in parks, cycling routes or trips to reservoirs.
The specialist paid special attention to the organization of the workspace.
"Fresh flowers on the table or other pleasant little things create a summer mood. The main thing is to clearly separate the time of work and rest, without overworking," the psychologist emphasized.
She advised using lunch breaks for walks, and starting the morning with physical activity in the fresh air.
Smirnova has refuted the stereotype of summer blues. According to her, sunny weather and long daylight hours are more likely to contribute to activity. Motivation problems are more likely to occur in autumn, when the number of hours of sunshine is reduced. The psychologist also commented on the influence of children's associations: three-month school holidays, in her opinion, can really form an attitude towards summer holidays, but this can be adjusted.
The expert noted a new trend: many freelancers now prefer to leave for warmer countries in autumn and winter, returning for the summer period.
Earlier, on May 12, it was reported that in Russia, every second company is ready to raise wages and review the workload in order to retain an employee. Experts have found that 93% of employers attempt to retain an employee if he wants to quit.
