Business travel alters your usual routine. This combined with the meetings and jet lag can make business trips stressful. However, there are some simple things you can do to de-stress and stay focused during these trips. Hussain al Nowais shares great three tips for minimizing stress and boosting productivity for business travelers.

Eat healthy

We often see being away from home as a time to overindulge in unhealthy foods. Instead of grabbing Burger King at the airport or hitting the pastry table at the hotel’s breakfast, focus on eating well. Fuel your body and mind with wholesome foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. Eating foods rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants will give you the energy and brain power you need to stay productive.

Find your focus

During your downtime, schedule relaxing activities to help you refocus and stay stress-free.  Book a spa treatment, or take a walk during lunch to clear your mind and relax. If possible, arrive a day early to allow yourself time to unwind and overcome jet lag, so you’re well-rested and ready for the workday ahead.

Create a mobile itinerary

There are several apps out there that make it easy to create a mobile itinerary. With a mobile itinerary app, you can access all of your trip information in one convenient place. Here you can store your flight information, hotel confirmation, boarding passes, and meeting schedule.  This allows you to stay organized and focus on what’s important— the job you’ve come here to do.
