One easy way to boost productivity is for workplace to have a designated area for napping.

[@cyrilkarpenko691]

The best way to boost productivity is to work from home for most of the week's days.

[@guru6831]

If one sleeps in the day, one cannot sleep in the night!

[@SM-ce1uy]

I have very healthy lunches, work out and still feel wiped out. you're not designed to work 40h a week, less hours and you'd see energy levels improve

[@hemavathikumar9123]

Food is just half of the trouble , waiting a video on "Managers" 😂

[@whitneynovela406]

After that, stakeholders😂😂😂

The chicken rice at 11:57 so kiampsiap with their chicken.

I think that performance without eating depends on whether one has been fasting from the meal for considerable number of days. Suspect that a person who is used to fasting from meals can derive energy from fats easily and is hence not as prone to being tired. Personally I have done it and I feel fine.

[@edwingoh4094]

i used to skip lunch and only have 1 meal a day which is dinner, i never had any sluggishness during or after the lunch hour besides just feeling hungry. If anything my attention and focus became better whenever i skipped lunch.

[@myas-3995]

Try not to have extremely heavy lunches during workday lunches; when I mean by extremely heavy it’s those that induce the food coma effect. Drink lots of warm water in the morning and 30 min before lunch. This keeps you hydrated and minimises over eating. I personally feel rice leads to more food coma so I stick to salads, soups, noodles etc. Should one want to eat rice, stick to brown rice which is fistful with more vegetables and side dishes. Taking a walk after lunch and mini 10min breaks are helpful in beating that snooze if you are working in the office. If you work from home nothing Beats a 30 min power nap

[@nelsonlee7764]

ah, love how balanced their approach was. also highly recommend the Huberman Lab podcast for those who want to learn more about optimising productivity.

[@manojfernando1028]

this programme is fantastic. i will not miss any episode

[@JohnHartono]

3 macro nutrient: protein, carb, and fat. carb and protein make you sleepy, so what do you eat? 25% carb 25% protein, 50% more carb and sugar in a form of vegetable and fruit great idea

[@starsacid]

great tips

[@sujoybarua3907]

Very Common but short nap may boost the productivity a lot

[@fabianyee]

My daily lunch is just 3 eggs. No bloating, no post lunch sleepiness..

[@chelleb.9759]

I am actually watching this feeling lethargic after lunch HAHAHAHA

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

Don't eat carby meals during lunch. The glucose crash only happens when you had sugary drinks or carby meals. If you don't eat those foods, you won't get any slump.

[@kels1009]

Don’t have this issue. I normally eat hainan chicken rice /curry laksa / nasi lemak basically no restrictions for lunch. But I don’t eat at 12pm. Either eat before noon or after 1pm. Anyway, everyone has different tolerance level to insulin. Well try mopping the floor after lunch.

This video should be shown to all the project managers.

Tryptophan is found in a wide variety of protein-containing foods, including eggs, cheese, meat (especially turkey), fish, wheat, rice, potatoes, and bananas. Since tryptophan must be ingested in food, the WHO has set a typical recommended daily intake for tryptophan at 4 mg/kg of body weight.

[@jarrodyuki7081]

so yummy.

[@hndrwn]

The easiest answet is: don't eat your lunch

[@guru6831]

If you feel sleepy after lunch, change your diet!

[@TableTennis-Man]

[@isabelleong3666]

[@schadenfreude6274]

[@lancetheking7524]

We have 1 hour lunches in school for a reason (or it's just the Philippines)

[@_itsafineday]

Idk prolly depends on the school. I'm from India and I get an hour for lunch.

[@scarletttan8337]

[@zacklim4215]

Answer : Caffeine 😄

[@SM-ce1uy]

it doesn't help at one point ..sleep cannot be replaced with caffeine

[@mikewonglife]

If I have a hot co-worker to work with, I'll never feel tired.

[@Paulo-zr5zo]

It's easy don't eat too much and don't eat high carb, you can eat steak with veggies but don't get full

[@SM-ce1uy]

well haha still get tired. I can sustain a 32 h week of work only just like anyone else. all my coworkers are tired and complain they are tired. anyone not tired is someone who sits in meetings all day long and does little work

[@_itsafineday]

Bruh just have some toast for lunch. You don't need so much food for sitting all day long. Maybe take some veggies too.

[@SM-ce1uy]

I eat a salad and a soup and feel exhausted. it;s the artificial lights and the annoying people around you plus the noise levels. 40h a week is not sustainable

[@gamerdarien8595]
