Pause your Inbox<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a recruiter, emails are essential to your job. You need it to communicate with applicants, and be up to date with your job. But reading too much email\u00a0can get overwhelming. If you don\u2019t want your inbox to be clogged with emails, turn it\u00a0off or use an app like <em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/inboxpause.com\/inboxpause.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inbox Pause <\/a><\/strong><\/em>and put\u00a0new emails on\u00a0hold until you are ready\u00a0to address\u00a0them.

It doesn&#8217;t. Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that it does, because <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/nickmorrison\/2014\/11\/26\/the-myth-of-multitasking-and-what-it-means-for-learning\/#6560753c684c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studies have shown<\/a><\/strong> that overall productivity actually decreases with multitasking. If you want to get more work done focus on one single task at a time.\u00a0Recruiters are often prone to this, even though it\u2019s been proven that it does not work, with the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.popsci.com\/article\/science\/2-percent-people-can-multitask-well-are-you-supertasker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exception of 2% of the entire population<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0If you&#8217;re part of that percentage, then go ahead, multitask away. If not, don&#8217;t even bother.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Work_a_bit_on_Sunday\"><\/span>3.\u00a0Work (a bit) on Sunday<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re part of the working force that loves Mondays, then there must be something wrong with you. The reason why most of the world hate Mondays is because <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/money.aol.co.uk\/2013\/11\/04\/revealed-why-i-dont-like-mondays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it&#8217;s the least productive day of the week<\/a><\/strong>. We usually spend this day catching up on work and emails we missed on the weekend, plus there&#8217;s the usual update meetings to attend to. Address this by\u00a0spending an hour (just an hour!) of your Sunday and sort out everything\u2014emails, reports, little tasks\u2014that usually crowds your Mondays. Get a head-start, and you&#8217;ll feel less stressed out and more productive the following day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bonus_Get_some_exercise\"><\/span>Bonus: Get some exercise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s\u00a0really not a secret that regular exercise is beneficial\u00a0for your health, but what people often miss out is that <strong><a href=\"\/blog\/reasons-why-exercise-can-help-you-get-that-promotion\">getting a bit of sweat increases brain function<\/a><\/strong> as well, which in turn will make you more productive. Get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, preferably in the morning. It&#8217;s the quickest pick-me-up you can get for a morning boost. Your mind and body will thank you for it when you&#8217;re in the office getting overwhelmed with\u00a0work.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_up_on_Kalibrr_and_start_hiring_better_today_You_can_also_follow_us_on_Facebook_for_more_business_and_recruiter_advice\"><\/span><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalibrr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign up on Kalibrr<\/a><\/strong> and start hiring better today!
