Set Clear Boundaries: Clearly define your work hours and personal time. Stick to these boundaries as much as possible to prevent work from encroaching on your personal life.

Delegate Responsibilities: Entrepreneurs find this the most difficult to do, and yet is the only way businesses can truly grow. Delegate tasks and responsibilities to share the workload, build esprit-de-corps among your team members and reduce your own stress in the process.

Prioritize Tasks: Make a list to prioritize tasks and focus on the most impactful activities of that day or week. This can help you accomplish more in less time without distraction.

Time Management: Utilize time management techniques like the Pomodoro Technique or T.R.A.F Method where you Toss – Refer – Act – or File. The secret is prioritizing what is actionable, to delegate, unimportant, or file for a later date.

Technology and Automation: Leverage automation tools to streamline repetitive tasks, allowing you more free time.

Take Breaks: Break away from your cell phone during off-hours and take breaks during the workday. Leave your desk, clear your mind,and allow solutions to enter your subconscious. And be sure to get enough sleep to recharge.

Eat Right & Hydrate: The adage, we are what we eat is true. Foods can either slow us down or provide much needed energy to tackle our workday. Coffee works for quick bursts of energy, but better choices are healthy snacks like fruits, nuts, yogurt or a protein shake. They not only curb your appetite
but provide fuel to keep you sharp. Stay hydrated because dehydration is a leading cause of feeling sluggish.
