No matter how Zen you are by nature, a passive-aggressive email from a colleague or yet another tight deadline can get the best of anyone. Luckily, we’re living in the Golden Age of Staying Cool. Between the wellness podcasts, the CBD oils, and the return of baggy pants, there are innumerable ways to save the day when life starts to make you sweat. Here are those moves and a few other hacks we believe really work at work.

1. Stay fresh all day

Style Move: Embrace On-the-Go GroomingAfter a long lunch, heated meeting, or quick workout, you want to finish the day strong. We suggest stocking a desk drawer with a few face-saving essentials: toothpaste and toothbrush, certainly, and Dove Men + Care deodorant wipes, which are formulated with moisturizers and provide 24-hour odor protection. (They also come in handy when you’ve got a post-work date and no time to go home and change.)

Productivity Hack: Take a WalkKeeping your cool at work is a lot easier when you have some perspective, which isn’t going to happen when you spend all eight hours elbow deep in Slack or Excel. Making time to get up and take a short walk every day can help you clear your thoughts and keep your emotions in check once things heat up again. And recent research indicates that walking makes you more present, which in turn boosts productivity.

2. Do your prep work

Style Move: Use a Mattifying MoisturizerWhether or not you have oily skin, every man is prone to shine when the mid-summer sidewalk doubles as a sauna. Starting your day with a mattifying moisturizer sets you up for success when things heat up later on. These lightweight formulas are designed to soak up excess sebum (a.k.a. your skin’s natural oils) while giving you the basic hydration you need.

Productivity Hack: Make Time for Meeting PrepBefore you get carried away with the work day’s various adventures, make time to prepare for all of your meetings. By collecting your thoughts and any important materials ahead of time, you’ll be at your most efficient and engaged—even when you’re heading into a 4pm meeting without the help of 3:30pm caffeine (the stuff of nightmares). Get nervous in meetings? We’ve got a read for you.

3. Do what feels natural

Style Move: Avoid Synthetic FabricsClothes made out of natural fibers like cotton, linen, and wool are not only more sustainable, longer-lasting, they also keep you feeling breezy all day long thanks to all that extra airflow. We promise, a linen suit is your ticket to looking sharp this summer.

Productivity Hack: Prioritize...NothingWe’re all for hot yoga and zero-gravity baths, but be careful that your pursuit of self-care doesn’t turn into a productivity grind in and of itself. While you might feel compelled to schedule every minute of your day, some argue that making space for “unproductive” pursuits is critical for maintaining a healthy mindset. So when you’re off the clock, really go off the clock—and Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, too.

4. Loosen up a little

Style Move: Embrace the Comfort FitWhether your office dress code is formal or fleece-forward, menswear’s recent turn towards slouchier-fit clothing and equally comfortable finishing touches (think: loafers) are a gift you should embrace. Instead of slim-cut suits, slimmer shirts, and neckties cinched tight, 2019’s office-wear has loosened up but still looks ready for business.

Productivity Hack: Ham It UpSo you finally made it to the corner office and now your days are dominated by meetings, spreadsheets, and thirty-second increments of small talk. Even if you have to secretly watch YouTube to get your fix, don’t lose your sense of humor just because you’re making the big bucks. Studies show that laughing releases endorphins, stimulates circulation, and aids in muscle relaxation, all of which will help you return to important tasks feeling happier and less stressed out.

5. Be ready for anything

Style Move: Stroll In SerenelyWhether your schvitzing from a sweaty subway or your morning bike ride to work, the last thing you want to do is stroll into your first meeting looking like a sopping mess. Before you get in the elevator, give yourself a speed-round freshen-up with a Dove Men + Care deodorant wipe. And stash a few fresh white undershirts at the office so you can swap yours out if need be.

Productivity Hack: Make a Concentration-Mode KitIt’s amazing what noise-canceling headphones, caffeine, and the right lighting can do to help you plow through an important task without getting distracted 10,000 times. You can survive almost anything with a mini-fridge filled with cold brew and a pack of deodorant wipes.
