WHAT IDEAS DO WE HAVE ABOUT…

Leading Wellbeing | Team Workshop | November 2016 Page 14

Reducing STRESS? Increasing ACTIVITY? Improving RECOVERY?

INCREASE ACTIVITY.

Use breaks to stretch and move.

Have one-on-one meetings while walking.

Start and end each meeting with brief stretch

or activity.

Use the stairs.

Use telephone or webinar conference time to walk in place.

Set a timer to remind you to move 5 minutes

of every hour.

Team Wellbeing | Team Workshop | November 2016 Page 15

REDUCING MULTI-TASKING.

Prioritize tasks before beginning them.

Clear workspace of other projects to

encourage focus.

Turn off email and VM notifications; target

45 min. of concentration time.

During meetings— no telephones or

computers in sight.

Take notes during meetings.

Short concentration exercise before every

important meeting or activity.

Avoid making important decisions in the

team under time pressure.

Create guidelines within the team

regarding work interruptions and ensure

these are being upheld.

DESTRESSING EMAIL.

Leading Wellbeing | Team Workshop | November 2016 Page 17

Create rules for your inbox (private, team,

boss, clients, in cc, appointment requests…).

Make appointments for your daily emailing

times.

Go consciously offline for periods of time in

order to concentrate on completing important

tasks.

Use the subject line for a maximum of

information and include instructions. This can

shorten responses from others.

No acoustic or visual signals for incoming

messages.

DESTRESSING THE TELEPHONE.

Individualize your ring tones: boss,

colleagues, family, friends, unknown callers.

Do not choose alarming or hectic

ringtones. (lower adrenaline release).

Go consciously offline for periods of time in

order to concentrate on completing important

tasks.

DESTRESSING MEETINGS ANDCONFERENCE CALLS.

Leading Wellbeing | Team Workshop | November 2016 Page 19

Use a clear opening (purpose, agenda,

reasons, input needed, end time).

Set guidelines around time and participation.

Avoid too many in one day; every hour in

meeting often 1.5 hour of work to follow up on

actions.

Appeal to the introvert.

Schedule a shorter timeframe to allow for

movement between meetings (45 min. vs. 60

min. etc.).
