Finally, spend the time you have after work only on yourself. Do something you know relaxes and recharges you. Stay in bed with a book for the evening or go out for a quiet walk in nature. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

Sometimes the most urgent thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest. Rest is neither idleness nor a waste of time. That’s why organizations have annual leave in their policy – utilize it! #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

Sometimes when all else fails, you just have to keep going–even while resisting it–until something interesting comes into view again. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

Channel your frustration into a way out, don't throw yourself a pity party. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

If you feel exhausted by a boss or colleague, & you know the situation isn’t going to change, then look for another job instead of wasting your valuable time around people who deplete your energy. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

@Timi_Tope What If I don't feel passionate about my work anymore or I know it's not the right job for me? #VentureCareer

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

You may want to take a personality test to know whether you will be much better doing some other jobs different from what you currently do. Finding what works for you is way better than looking miserable for most part of your day. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

If there are people around you who actually seem to enjoy the work you do not enjoy, ask them what they like about it. Ask about their best days and try to sincerely see your job from their perspective. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

Sometimes it could just be that you need some energy due to pressure on your brain. Taking snacks can boost your brain power after an exhausting afternoon. It also helps if you take a daily multivitamin & a vitamin B complex. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

When stuck on a problem or task, talking to a colleague to look at issues with a second pair of eyes can help you with fresh ideas or validate your thinking. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

Keeping a log of when you’re feeling stressed at work can help you identify some ways to reduce your stress. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

Identify the source of the energy drain? Too many hours? Stress? Emotional burn-out? #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

Take a mental break and take a quick stroll around. This helps you maintain your concentration on the task at hand. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

You may be able to maintain a sub-optimal state for long periods of time but you will be less productive overall and tend to make more mistakes. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

Take short 5 minute breaks every 25 minutes. You may think that would decrease your productivity but it actually increases it. @CDNETng #VentureCareer

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

You will notice that you get less tired if you do meditation of about 10–15 minutes a day around lunch time. It's like a powernap. #VentureCareer @CDNETng

[Timi Tope Ologunoye @Timi_Tope]

Reset your focus & calm yourself with a 10minutes guided meditations for breathing exercise on YouTube or apps like Ringly and Fitbit. #VentureCareer @CDNETng
