She urges you to free up time by doing more focused work, stop working more than you need to, work with a group when you can, and create a dream schedule that includes leisure time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more to learn about these four healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/good-work-habits-2\/\">work habits<\/a> that can change your professional and personal life for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-healthy-work-habits\">Healthy Work Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Headlee decided to write <em>Do Nothing<\/em> after struggling with work burnout, despite gaining financial stability and self-employment. By sharing her experience and research on this topic, she hopes to help others like herself end an unhealthful addiction to productivity. Let&#8217;s look at four healthy work habits that she encourages you to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Do More in Less Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Her first piece of advice is to do more focused work so that you can <strong>work fewer hours while getting the same amount done. <\/strong>If you have flexibility in your schedule, she recommends working for about 50 minutes at a time, followed by a short break to recharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Headlee\u2019s advice to work in 50-minute sessions with short breaks in between is similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/todoist.com\/productivity-methods\/pomodoro-technique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pomodoro technique<\/a> of working in blocks of 25-minute focused work sessions followed by a five-minute break, and then taking a longer 15- to 30-minute break after four of those cycles. In addition to working in shorter, more focused bursts, research suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/scarcity#strategies-for-organizations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you can work more efficiently by setting short deadlines for specific tasks<\/a>. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/scarcity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Scarcity<\/em><\/a>, Mullainathan and Sendhil explain that this is because <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/scarcity\/1-page-summary#using-scarce-time-efficiently\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">we naturally work more effectively as a deadline looms<\/a>. Thus, the combination of short deadlines and shorter working sessions could significantly reduce the amount of time you spend on a project or task.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Don&#8217;t Work More Than You Need To<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Headlee also <strong>recommends not working any more than your job requires<\/strong>, since the accompanying stress and exhaustion from being overworked isn\u2019t worth the career-related benefits you may or may not get from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Headlee\u2019s advice to stop working optional hours is sometimes referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/2022-in-review\/the-year-in-quiet-quitting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cquiet quitting\u201d<\/a>\u2014a practice that many younger workers have adopted of reclaiming their time by not doing anything non-essential for work. Proponents of quiet quitting argue that it\u2019s crucial for people to develop their sense of identity and self-worth outside of work. Some argue that the Covid-19 pandemic reinforced this principle as work became less social and less enjoyable for remote workers. A 2022 study suggests that about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/what-is-quiet-quitting-6743910\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">50% of workers are quiet quitting<\/a>, although others argue that this number isn\u2019t much different from the last couple of decades.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Work With a Group<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another work-related tip is to <strong>work in groups when you can<\/strong>. Headlee says that although many people feel that working independently is more efficient, research suggests that diverse groups are more efficient at problem-solving and making optimal decisions compared to individuals. Thus, collaborating with others can save you time and produce better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Headlee doesn\u2019t specify what <em>kind <\/em>of diversity to strive for in your work groups, but some experts assert that <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2017\/03\/teams-solve-problems-faster-when-theyre-more-cognitively-diverse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cognitive diversity, in particular, facilitates efficient problem-solving<\/a>. For example, it\u2019s better to have a mix of people who prefer to synthesize the ideas of others and people who like to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/generate-new-ideas\/\">generate new ideas<\/a>, rather than people who approach tasks in the same way.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: Create a Dream Schedule That Includes Leisure Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, <strong>create your dream schedule and include ample leisure time<\/strong>. Headlee says your dream schedule doesn\u2019t have to be strictly followed, but writing it down will give you something to strive for. Remember to include leisure activities\u2014anything that\u2019s purely for enjoyment like going for a walk, reading outside, doing a craft, or playing music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: If you\u2019re not sure where to start with your leisurely dream schedule, in <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-happiness-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Happiness Project<\/em><\/a>, Gretchen Rubin offers <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-happiness-project\/month-5#look-outside-your-regular-channels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advice for how to discover new opportunities for leisure<\/a>. First, try keeping a log, where you record things that pique your interest\u2014locations on a map to visit or new activities you\u2019d like to try, for example. Second, peruse random magazines or listen to a new podcast to expose yourself to new topics that might inspire a hobby or pastime.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having these periods of <strong>rest is essential because it improves mental health and activates a state of mind known as the default mode network (DMN)<\/strong>. The DMN activates when your brain isn\u2019t working on a task, and in this state, we naturally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-process-emotions\/\">process emotions<\/a> and decisions, reflect on memories, think about how others feel, and daydream about the future. Headlee says that the DMN sparks creativity and growth since our brain is free to consider things from new angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Similar to Headlee\u2019s argument here, Chris Bailey\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/hyperfocus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Hyperfocus<\/em><\/a> espouses the benefits of what he refers to as \u201cintentional mind wandering.\u201d He clarifies that in order to maximize these benefits\u2014like creative ideas or plans about the future that this mental state inspires\u2014it\u2019s best to <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/hyperfocus\/part-2-chapter-6#why-you-should-practice-intentional-mind-wandering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jot down any insights that occur to you<\/a> so you can access them later. Otherwise, you may not remember the brilliant ideas you conjured while in the DMN.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you use the Pomodoro technique when you work?
