Do you often feel as if your workday will never end? An article on the Market-Watch website offers a simple technique for feeling more energized and engaged, and getting more done.

It’s called “reattachment to work,” and it can take many forms. You might start your day by talking with your spouse or partner about what you’re going to do today, or cycling through your to-do list first thing in the morning, or giving yourself three concrete goals to accomplish as soon as you get to work.

This kind of planning can jump-start your brain and help you focus on activities and goals that make your day go faster. It will give you a feeling of energy and engagement that can make work feel more satisfying throughout the day.
