While productivity can help stave off boredom, working too hard can lead to burnout. People should set aside time for nonwork activities that they find enjoyable or relaxing. 3.Follow a healthful diet: A healthful, balanced diet is important for mental as well as physical health. Sticking to set mealtimes can help a person establish a daily routine. 4.Stay physically active: People should aim to develop an exercise routine that they are able to perform in their home or garden.
