How do you usually plan out your work week? + my tips for productivity and mental health

by•

I have gradually implemented a schedule that fits my work style the most. * Monday: I like to start Monday by checking messages, getting up to speed on work, and setting up meetings with the team. I have a prioritization meeting every Monday so it’s a time for me to sync up with my team so we are all aligned:) * Tuesday: I usually have lots of back-to-back meetings so it’s a very communication/collaboration-heavy day. * Wednesday: I would clean up my space, organize all the Tuesday meeting highlights in the morning, and then go into “heads-down” work mode. In between, there might be some more meetings… * Thursday: mostly heads-down working:)))) * Friday: I have my weekly design review on Friday so I will show all my work, and get feedback from the team. And the afternoon is usually pretty chill, wind down and prepare for the weekend<33 Having this schedule helps me separate my time well - meetings and heads-down design work, and having a more chilled Friday is also good for my mental health<33 Looking forward to hearing other people’s tips on how to stay productive during the week! Cheers~

Great to see your schedule! I also take Fridays to wind down and prepare for the upcoming week, which helps with my mental health.

I like to start my mornings with a quick workout or meditation session. It helps me stay focused and energized for the day.

@debra_hetrick Nice! I did meditation for a short period of time before but later lost it... I want to try to start it again, really helps with mental health:)

Ah, your work week flow sounds as organized as a perfectly coded algorithm! It's great to see how you've fine-tuned your schedule for maximum productivity and mental well-being. How do you manage to keep those back-to-back meetings from feeling like an episode of a high-speed tech drama?

@thestarkster Hahaha thanks! I do feel like "an episode of a high-speed tech drama"😇🤣 After tons of meetings, I usually go for a short walk or even just get up from my desk, get some fresh air, go to the bathroom, just some small change of environment makes things a lot easier!
