All-natural supplements like organic maca powder can give you the quick pick me up you need to increase your energy levels when you’re fatigued.

B vitamins and magnesium are excellent for increasing energy too. They’re best taken daily and in conjunction with, not instead of, a healthy diet, as described earlier.

Recent studies show that multitasking isn’t effective. Are you someone who’s forever juggling several balls at once instead of focusing on a single task? If so, chances are you’re going to feel more frazzled than your single-tasking peers.

So, take a leaf out of their book and slow down. Do less and start feeling better.
