Not feeling like you are achieving as much as you should? Here are three tools to work smarter, healthier and more effectively...

1. Cut caffeine to a minimum: try not starting your day with a "fix"... by 10am watch your focus deep... Start with a low GI sustainable energy that will see you through the morning consistently.

2. Eat wisely: eat regularly and even try and plan your meals (even if just a little) to avoid last minute "poor decisions". Take protein balls to work, (a much more effective 3pm pick up I've found!), a banana or another piece of fruit, make a smoothie in the morning and chuck it in the fridge for a ready made, filling feed!

3. Hydrate: drink, drink, drink... Water and hydration is imperative - especially as we move into the warmer months. The key here is also consistency - don't wait till you are parched to hydrate.

Give these a whirl and watch your efficiency and quality of output climb!
