We can almost guarantee you’re hunched over at your desk, reading this on your phone while you were supposed to be checking work emails. Did we guess right? Thought so.

Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. Studies showed that UK office workers are some of the least productive in the world. In fact, if you hop over to Germany, the average worker will get more done in 4 days than you could do in 5. That means while you spend Friday frantically rushing through your to-do list, your German co-workers could be taking a long lunch and sneaking off early.

If you want to improve your attention span and creativity at work, follow these 5 easy steps… Stop! Don’t start thinking about something else. Just take a minute to read on.

1. Try Pukka’s Turmeric Brainwave 7 day kit, £10
This organic tea and supplements kit is created to bring clarity and focus to your week. It also includes a wellbeing kit with tips and recipes from Pukka’s expert herbalist.

2. Declutter your desk
Clear desk = clear mind so get rid of those empty mugs, crusty cereal bowls and satsuma peels (don’t forget to recycle if you can!) and enjoy your clean working space.

3. Calm your brain before each task
Don’t be overwhelmed by the task at hand. Take 20 deep breaths in total silence before getting stuck in with what you have to do. Learn more breathing techniques here.

4.  Don’t let your inbox boss you about
Limiting your emails to one hour in the morning and one at the end of the day will help you to pay attention and stop you feeling overwhelmed. Resist the urge to check that unread mail notification.

5. Tweak your bedtime routine for optimal sleep and wake up ready to slay the day!
Swap the late-night scrolling sessions for a dreamy cup of Pukka’s Night Time tea full 8 hours of shut eye and you’ll feel much more motivated and focused the next day.
