How to Increase Your Energy at Work … Without Coffee – Successful Meetings

"While many of us reach for caffeine when we're feeling tired at work, this is a band-aid solution at best -- and it leads to even bigger energy crashes when the caffeine wears off," Scalco says. "Whenever possible, you're better off turning to more sustainable strategies."

One such strategy is to replace coffee and sugar with water.

"Even mild dehydration can contribute to a range of energy-draining symptoms, including mental fuzziness, headaches, dizziness, lethargy, and sleepiness," Scalco explains. "Downing plenty of water throughout the day is a simple and effective way to maintain energy and focus. If you feel your energy dip at any point in the day, try reaching for a glass of water before hitting up the vending machine for a candy bar."

A supplement with your water might help, too. "While a healthy breakfast and lunch are good starts, you can achieve an even more immediate boost by consuming 'brain boosting' supplements such as nootropics," Scalco concludes. "Nootropics have been used by everyone from young entrepreneurs all the way up to Silicon Valley hotshots to gain a mental edge."
