Eat A Good Breakfast- Start your day off by eating a good, hearty breakfast full of carbohydrates and protein for energy and endurance. You may have sacrificed your Wheaties for a couple of added Snooze buttons or some extra time in the shower, but its really worth it to make the effort here, especially getting your metabolism going to jumpstart your day. Go for something quick and simple: a bagel or fruit with peanut butter or a breakfast shake you can grab and go.
Get Some Sunshine- exposing yourself to bright light is a great way to jolt yourself to consciousness. Take a quick walk outside for ten or fifteen minutes. Another benefit is to get your muscles moving and blood pumping as you spin around the block.
Take a Power Nap- If you have a place to go during the day-a break room or even your car-use break time as an opportunity to get some shut eye before you return refreshed to the daily grind
Don't Sit Still- The more you can get up from your desk throughout the day, the more alert you'll remain. If you need to talk to a coworker get up and walk to their desk instead of sending an email. Get up and get a glass of water to stay hydrated to keep you more awake. These short trips will also provide the small breaks from your work that may prove vital to your sanity throughout the day.
