How to be happier at work thanks to the third metric

When the co-founder of the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington , spoke for the first time in a TEDx Talk, not a few entrepreneurs and many entrepreneurs felt recognized in their story about the race to success.He teaches us to be super human, but not of those who save cities or live their lives to the fullest but of those others who mortgage their health in exchange for demonstrating that they do not need to sleep.Then, Arianna arrived, and with her the third metric polemic.A method of personal productivity very different from what we were used to.

Third metric: the keys to being happier at work

Ariana's approach was simple: Who benefits from stressful, alienated work, with hardly any rest, no leisure time, no learning, or spending quality time with your family? Whatever you are, you will agree that being human was born to live, not to suffer in a job throughout his life , nor to live his whole life in search of a success that never satiates him.With this, Arianna does not pretend that there are less ambitions but that we take into account what are the priorities in a life that is limited.

First key: rest

The key to being more efficient is to sleep properly.If we rest 8 hours a day we can better face daily challenges.

Also, we will not be tired in those moments we have for our family.

Second key: flows

Obviously it is an active flow.The issue is to concentrate on what works and change course when something stops.Do not cling to what poisons you, what dwarfs you.Learn to be aware of what you want and what will make you happy for a longer time.After all, life is very short (but you can h acer too long).

Third key: Procrastina

Procrastination is the action of putting more pleasant or less stressful activities, ahead of those that require more attention or urgency, but those who have a harder time facing us.

Procasting is very undervalued, mainly because it usually appears in the middle of a task and immobilizes us.What if the reason you were procrastinating was because something does not fill you? And if it is because you are saturating yourself with work? Or because you haven't slept well? It is possible to take procasting as something positive, a small escape from the brain and sometimes a sign that you should make a change in your direction.

Fourth key: Help other people

Arianna does not mean that you leave as a volunteer, but rather, she pretends that you are aware of your surroundings.
