I’m sharing my personal tips for staying energized and productive during long, back-to-back work meetings in the heart of Sydney. Whether you’re navigating busy workdays in the city or working from home, this post and the video provide practical advice. They will help you maintain focus, reduce stress, and boost your productivity.

I balance my energy with outdoor walks, slowly sipping coffee, and stepping out for mental resets between meetings. These simple activities help me avoid that dreaded afternoon slump and keep my mind sharp throughout the day. I’m also not too shy to stand up in the middle of a meeting and stretch behind my chair. In the early days of being in big team meetings, I was the only person who did this. However, at my most recent meeting, there were a few people doing the same. Go on, be brave and start a wellness trend in your work team.

Focusing on the importance of self-awareness, mental health, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance is critical for everyone. I’ve found it even more necessary now I’m in my 40s and looking to stay energized at any time. As I age I’m gaining the wisdom to look after myself in order to be energized enough to look after others. And the older I get the more I need to look after myself.

My hacks and tips for staying energized during multiple day meetings

• Stay onsite if it’s an option, just because women can do it all it doesn’t mean we should. To avoid burnout don’t work extra hard all day in a meeting then go home and cook dinner for your family if you can avoid it. Naturally this isn’t a choice everyone can make. However, if you can, put your energy first so you can be a better Mum and wife when you return.
• If you are staying onsite, see if you can get room service for breakfast. It really is a good way to make your morning your own and manage your own energy levels.
• Remember your medications whether they are prescription or over the counter. My allergy nasal spray manages brain fog so it doesn’t double up with my perimenopause brain fog. To go off topic for a moment-if you are looking for a good book read the Hormone Repair Manual.
• Stay hydrated.
• Move your body.
• Don’t be afraid to “go to the bathroom” if the energy in the room starts to bring you down.
• Use a meditation app to help you go to sleep, and practice mindful breathing throughout the day.
