Physical Labor Hints
The Job position I currently hold is a part-time job as a "clean up guy" for my dad's Landscaping buisness. Basically, pure Physical labor for 3-8 hours a day / 3-5 days a week.
I have found a few things that Help to keep me going on the long days.
1. Water: Drink it!
2. I have a 2qt. Mil-issue canteen. In order to make water more interesting, I will often pour a little OJ or Coffee or "
soft drink mixes" into the canteen with the water.
3. Music: I am continually listening to my MP3 Player while I am working (only 1 earbud though and not loudly! - dont wanna get smashed by falling limbs!)
4. Pace yourself: Find ways to better use your energy. IE: Make one trip to the truck with lots of branches/debris rather than 45 small trips.
5. Last yet certainly not least... CANDY!!! I basically bring a pocketfull of hard candy with me. Sucking on one every so often can really keep your mind off the heat/cold/pain/etc etc.
