Make the most of your time off by listening to podcasts and reading newspapers. Regardless of your industry, there are plenty of materials available to help refine your skills. Take advantage of your commute by listening to an industry-related podcast or audiobook written by someone at the top of your field. Instead of using your breaks to check social media or laugh at memes, read articles about relevant advancements or new technologies. If your family has gone out to run errands on a weekend day and you find yourself home alone, use the time to learn instead of watching television. In addition to educating yourself during your downtime, go to conferences, take classes, and take advantage of any professional development opportunities that come your way. Making yourself an expert in your industry will improve your performance at your current job and make you a more desirable candidate in the future. Professional conferences are also among the best networking opportunities. Without ignoring your primary responsibilities, find ways to work on projects that will broaden your skills and professional network. Projects outside of your focus can introduce you to contacts in related industries and other departments. You'll also learn more about how your industry at large functions. For example, if you're a product designer and a project manager wants a designer to join their application and installation team, do your best to take advantage of the opportunity. You'll learn about how the company interacts with clients during the acquisition and installation processes. You'll add new skills to your resume and have a better understanding of how your designs are used. Delegating will become an essential skill as you grow in your career and eventually reach management levels. Start thinking about how you would assign roles to make a project's execution more efficient and to reap the benefits of team members' distinct skills. If you're not in a management position, imagine hypothetical ways you'd divide tasks for projects you're working on, and pay attention to how your manager delegates. When you're given responsibility over a team for the first time, familiarize yourself with each member's skills and assign appropriate tasks. Lose the mentality that there's only one right way to accomplish something. Trust those working under you to complete projects well even if they don't go about it the same way you would. That way, you'll be a more effective manager and have better control of your own time as you work your way up the ladder.

One-sentence summary -- Use your downtime to read and learn. Expand your industry knowledge through professional development. Pursue projects outside your area of focus. Learn to delegate. Trust the teams you lead.

Most often, unless it is due to a health problem such as ADHD, people fidget because they have restless energy and feel that they should be, or want to be, doing something else. Relaxing and calming your mind can help you cope with this restless energy. Instead of worrying about what else you should be or could be doing, or worrying that you're not getting things done fast enough, remain focused on where you are and what you're doing at the moment. This takes practice. Regardless of what you're doing, tell yourself, "this is what I'm doing right now, and I'm going to do my best at it and pay attention." When you feel the need to fidget, take a couple of slow deep breaths instead. This will help your nervous, restless energy to slowly disappear. If you are feeling incredibly nervous and fidgety, stop what you're doing and count while you're breathing. Take a deep breath in while counting to 10. When you get to 10, start letting it out while counting to 10 again. Do this several times until you feel more relaxed. Research and sign up for local yoga classes. If you already know yoga poses, practice them at home or during your breaks at work. The meditation, deep breathing, and stretching aspects of yoga help tremendously with restless energy and will help you to stay focused. Getting enough sleep is so important for managing stress. It allows your brain to recharge and gives it the ability to stay focused and organized. Be sure that you allow yourself 7-8 hours of sleep per night, and if you have trouble falling asleep, try the following: Avoid stimulation an hour before bed. This includes TV, exercise, and time on your phone. For an hour before bed, try enjoyable reading in dim lights, or take a warm bath. Don't do work in your bed during the day. Let your bed be the place where you are relaxed and ready for sleep, not thinking about responsibilities. Check on your diet and exercise. Lacking of certain nutrients, consuming caffeine, and not getting enough exercise can all contribute to insomnia. Keep a gratitude journal where you write down each day or a couple of times a week the things that you are thankful for. Remembering the things you are thankful for helps you maintain a positive mood and reduces stress and restless energy.

Ideally, you will have two moisturizers, one for day that is lighter and includes an SPF, and one for night that is a bit heavier. Before applying makeup, you will want to use the lighter moisturizer. Make sure that your day time moisturizer contains at least SPF 15 to protect your skin from the sun. If you struggle with breakouts and/or oily skin look for oil-free moisturizers that are non-comodogenic. If you have dry skin you can look for creams that are a bit thicker to wear during the day. A thicker cream will also give you a more dewy look. If you are prone to dry skin, adding a serum to your routine can help add a little extra moisture to your face. With most facial products, it's important to remember that a little bit goes a long way, and this is especially true in the case of serums. Look for serums that contain antioxidants, such as Vitamin C; anti-inflammatories, such as Zinc; and hydrators such as amino acids. Apply this after cleansing and toning, but before applying moisturizer. If you want to incorporate a serum into your routine, but have oilier skin, try applying the serum at night. Gently dab a few dots of serum on your cheeks, forehead, and chin and gently pat into the skin.
