Tomorrow is the second-most dreaded of all weekdays: Wednesday. It sounds innocent enough, doesn’t it? Wednesday. it’s even sort of fun to say. But Wednesday, or Hump Day as it is affectionately known, is the day when you realize you are equidistant from last weekend and next weekend.

Wednesday also happens to be the day of the week that many office workers feel the least amounts of energy and motivation. If you find yourself among the numbers of sleepy, unmotivated workers, fear not. There are lots of ways to help increase your productivity, stay awake, and maybe even find the motivation to keep going until the weekend.

There are several traps you should avoid if you want to be productive at work, such as thinking that you can do it all or getting stuck into a senseless rut. Even working in one place constantly with no variety can sap your productivity; just moving to another room might be enough of a change to kick-start your brain.

Applying heuristics, or task-based rules that help you solve a problem or complete a task, can greatly increase your productivity. Here are 33 such rules to get you started, but making up your own that are tailored to your situation can wake up your mind, keep you aware of your tasks, and help you find creative ways to achieve your goals.

Staying motivated is something that we all have challenges with at some point. Even if you love your job, you are bound to encounter some times when you just don’t feel like doing anything. Learning how to stay motivated on the job can help you in the long term to stay on track.

In the short term, though, maybe what you really need to perk yourself up is some fun in your office. Too many offices are dull, dreary, boring places to be; make an effort to add a little fun to your workplace and see how much easier it is to come in to work every day.

Of course, maybe all you need is a little nap over your lunch break to give you the energy to finish your tasks. If you work in a place that allows you to kick your feet up and take a 20-minute power nap, you will immediately see the effects in the quality and quantity of your work.
