We’ve all read advice on how to be more efficient and harder working in the office. Productivity tends to be the name of the game when it comes to professional improvement. But ultimately, our mental health is just as important as the documents we draft and the spreadsheets we email out. So, how do we effectively walk the line between being professionally productive and personally happy?

2. Okay, don’t get too crazy with this, but taking a few minutes to step away from your
desk and play can seriously get you out of a rut.

3. Music can seriously improve your mood (and productivity) when you’re having a
bad day. So pull together some of your favorite songs and use the beats to keep
you going through the day.

4. This might seem slightly odd, but drinking water basically helps with everything.
Keep a tall glass of H2O on your desk—it will help keep you focused and hydrated
and will fight away any nagging headache. You will feel amazing, and your office
outlook will be improved.

5. It’s that simple. Being well-rested allows you to focus and think better, meaning you
spend less time zoned out and more time engaged. Grumpiness is less of an issue
when you’ve had those solid eight hours of sleep.

6. Seriously, they exist for a reason. Not only does taking that vacation help improve your
happiness, it’s also good for your career. Start dreaming of where you want to go today,
and then snatch up those plane tickets!

7. The AMCAT is India’s first employability assessment test that help fresh graduates
to get their first job quickly and efficiently.
