10 Ways to Stay Motivated at Work During Ramadan



Ramadan is celebrated for its blessings, forgiveness, and generosity. Though Muslims celebrate this holy month as a month-long celebration every year, being productive at work becomes difficult. Here are some suggestions to keep you going throughout your fasting hours so you can seek Allah's grace while also getting your work done.


1. Plan Ahead

Because you'll want to conserve as much energy as possible while fasting, preparing your duties ahead of time might help. Before you begin your day, take some time to make a plan and get started. Staying motivated throughout Ramadan might be as simple as planning and executing.


2. Time Management

Work hours are frequently decreased during Ramadan. As a result, time management becomes extremely important in this situation. Divide your job into sections and set aside a particular amount of time for each, with some time for relaxation in between. You don't want to rush since it will exhaust you; instead, keep a calm and steady pace throughout the day.


3. Prioritize Your Tasks

It is critical that every employee sticks to this rule. Prioritizing your tasks may genuinely assist you in saving time and energy. Organizing your daily routines can assist you in being focused and determined at work. In certain circumstances, the duties with the lowest importance might be postponed until you are in a better mood.


4. Take Proper Rest

To function properly, our bodies require appropriate rest. You might use the time between assignments during Ramadan to pray or recite the Holy Quran. It will provide your body and mind with some much-needed relaxation. Many individuals lament the fact that they are unable to offer additional prayers or read Duas during Ramadan. As a result, this might be a chance for you to accomplish both.


5. Eat a Healthy Suhoor Meal

Suhoor is the last meal before we begin fasting, and it is the sole food that keeps us energized all day. As a result, it is important to have a substantial suhoor meal consisting of nutritious foods. Avoid foods that you are sensitive to, consume plenty of greens, and drink enough water. The more water you drink, the better you'll feel.


6. Pray With Your Colleagues

Try to pray together with your coworkers while you're at work. This way, you'll all be able to take some time for yourselves while also discussing your Ramadan preparations. You might also encourage each other. Praying as a group has been shown to help people calm their minds. This is why it is given so high priority in Islam.


7. Offer Help

Some of your coworkers may be burnt out at this period. Helping a fellow coworker would be a really lovely thing to do during Ramadan when we seek Allah's forgiveness and engage in good actions. You may all get through your workdays without feeling demotivated if you provide and receive aid.


8. Get Adequate Sleep

You will feel sleepy at the start of the day if you do not get enough sleep. Because our sleep hours are changing dramatically this month, we should make the necessary adjustments at the start of the month. If you obtain a decent night's sleep, your chances of feeling demotivated will be much reduced.


9. Talk to Your Employer

It's fine if you're tired and don't want to work during certain times. So, if you're in a situation, you should absolutely talk to your boss about taking a day off or delegating some chores to the next day. If you continue to push yourself, your health will deteriorate. So, when required, speak with your manager and manage your workload properly.


10. Avoid Smoking and Drinking

Even during Ramadan, many of us tend to stick to our previous behaviors. As a result, we frequently smoke or drink after iftar. This should be avoided as much as possible because we fast on an empty stomach all day throughout Ramadan. As a result, if we engage in these behaviors, we will hurt our bodies. Caffeine should also be avoided during these periods.


These suggestions will be quite useful at work during Ramadan and will keep us motivated. As we seek Allah's forgiveness and devote ourselves to charity and good acts throughout this holy month, may Allah bless us with good health and wealth. From all of us at Chowdhury Aktar & Associates, we wish you a blessed Ramadan Kareem.
