Let’s face it–life is busy! When the day-to-day pace accelerates to full throttle, it can be easy to get frazzled, leading to stress and (believe it or not!) lower productivity. How do the SMACKANISTAS handle the fast and furious pace of work, training, social life and other responsibilities? Below are a few tips that help keep us keep calm and focused during the hustle:
Don’t Work All of the Time–SMACK! Media Founder, Eli Carlson lays out the truth with WiseBread.com, “Make time for exercise, reading and spending time with family.

Eat To Live–Food is fuel and our brains need the proper nutrients to function just as much as our bodies do. Morgan shares with Spright.com the foods that give her the sustained energy to balance her role as VP of SMACK! Media while training as a pro runner at altitude (Spoiler: beer and bacon are not off limits!)

Upgrade Your Cocktail–After a long week, a delicious cocktail is a great way to celebrate the hard work throughout the week and naturally, kick off the weekend!
