The Drs TV: Increase Productivity
The Doctors shared a few ways to help you take better advantage of your time throughout the day. First, instead of waking up to an alarm clock and pressing the snooze button, let your nose wake you up to an arousing smell. Researchers recommend setting your coffee pot to wake up 15 minutes before you do. Another concept you can use is called “the 10-minute tidy” where you take just ten minutes to tidy up your home in the morning and the afternoon to refresh your brain.

The theory is that it engages several parts of the brain that can help you stay sharp in the moment. Moment was the word of the day and you can use it to win a 1 Face Watch, which also gives back to the charitable cause of your choice. Each color represents a different charity.
