Helping Employees De-Stress

Stress is a regular part of life as I have often talked about it. It can even be said that it is somewhat healthy in small doses and it can keep you on your toes. As a business professional, there are things that you can do with your employees that can prevent the stress from becoming a chronic problem. One of the keys to finding ways to reduce the amounts of stress is to do something that is completely different that what usually happens in the office. For example, it might be a good idea to find a day in a month where you surprise your employees with ordering out or doing something more creative like bringing in a meditation specialist. Another great idea is to hold a photography contest on a Friday of every month. People are already in weekend mode by Friday afternoons. It can be fun and one of the best things is that people can use their phone and the mobile applications to edit the pictures before they submit them. The ideas here are endless, just be willing to try some out and you will reap the benefits.

Battery Saving Tips

You are out and about and forgot your phone charger and/or extra battery. The utter horror. How are your going to survive until you get home or plan your next move? The panic is sure to set in when you see that your battery is at 10% and creeping down. There are several things that you can do to squeeze a bit more life out of that battery. First of all, turn off the paralax. It is probably making you dizzy anyhow. Then you should turn off background mobile application updates and refreshing. You might also want to turn off any unnecessary location services. Just keep the ones that will help you get home. Other things that you could do is to turn off Siri, LTE, and automatic email updates. Lastly, try not making an video calls.
