It’s cliché to say that life is full of ups and downs, but the thing about clichés is that they are true. We have just as many bad days in a year as we do good days, and as human beings, we are perfectly designed to take on the biggest stresses of life. We are more likely to get stressed at work because we are consistently multi-tasking, trying to make sales goals, and working towards strict deadlines. Not to mention that our lives outside of work don’t stop because we have entered the building, we are still bombarded with social, family and financial stresses. There really is no way around it, however, there are ways to consciously track and understand your mood throughout the day that will help you avoid unnecessary stress. These four wearables will help you stay focused at work and boost your overall productivity.
Wearable Screen Display
The Vufine is a wearable display that connects to your devices and offers you an extra screen to better experience your technology. By attaching the Vufine to your computer at work, you are able to see the monitor without even being at your desk. Stay connected while in your meeting or during the boardroom conference call. This device will free your hands making you more efficient which will allow you to get more done, therefore increasing your productivity and multitasking at work.
Wearable Wellness Tracker
Wear this wellness ring to help you better understand you because we know that sleep impacts our overall performance. The ŌURA ring connects to an application that can be downloaded on your devices. It tracks your sleeping patterns to help you maximize your productivity potential, and analyzes how your lifestyle choices affect your sleep. By gathering information about your activities, habits, and sleep, it offers suggestions on when the best times to take breaks are, and gives you a better understanding of how and when to work to get the best results.
Wearable Emotion Management
Step aside Apple watch, ZENTA tracks your actions and habits, then analyzes how they influence your stress, productivity, and overall happiness. From there the personalized coach creates a customized digital profile that will help you be aware of your habits and lifestyle, and what you can do to help you stay focused and well, less stressed. By tracking your activities, sleep, and mood, this smart wearable technology will recommend some new lifestyle changes. Perfect for the new year, this watch is designed to help you stay balanced.
Wearable Interactive Wovens
Project Jacquard was made specifically for commuters and cyclists, however, it allows wearers to control their mobile experience and connect to a variety of programs on their devices. While wearing this jacket you could shuffle through music, follow the directions on maps, or even answer phone calls directly from the jacket. This could be useful when you’re at work trying to work on multiple things, especially when your hands are busy and cannot pick up or hold a phone. Google and Levi’s have teamed up to make this incredibly innovative jacket a reality for us all. To learn more about the 2017 release of this product, follow the link.
