Take Power Naps: Our hunting-and-gathering tradition may have prepped us for these days' power naps. Research demonstrates that 20 minutes of sleep in the middle of our workday -- about eight hours after rising --is in fact more replenishing compare to 20 minutes more in the morning. Lengthier naps, those of an hour's value, put you into deeper sleep, which may disturb your night's sleep or allow you to become groggy. Contrariwise, this quantity and depth of sleep is more restorative -- increasing your cognitive functioning significantly. Meditation: If you can't catch a good spot in the office to nap, or feel uncomfortable, meditation might help. Close your eyes. Breathe deep. Simple mindfulness can decrease stress, revive energy, and increase focus. No Coffee by 3 p.m.: That denotes Red Bull, as well. Likewise re-consider those sugary or carb-heavy snacks. Substances like nicotine, alcohol, decongestants and pain relievers also damagingly disturb sleep. Paying Off Your Sleep Debt: Over-sleeping is not the answer, over-sleeping on weekends to make up in general doesn't do the trick. Sleep deficiency is accumulative. Twelve hours on Saturday can't recompense for the limited five hours you get each work night. Sleeping With the Enemy: Warning! Research demonstrates that sleeping with your smartphone, as some 75% of Millennials confess to performing, disturbs your sleep. Even checking your devices near bedtime has a negative outcome on the length and value of sleep. Check into a Sleep Lab: An increasing quant

Tip 1: Each SE Asian country is different
South East Asia is a mixture of nations and cultures which have combined under regional block called ASEAN to assist with the development of the region.
These nations are Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao and Burma.
Each Nation has unique resources and are at various stages of development.
It is critical to understand each of these nations are different - sometime very different and should be considered individually when developing an export strategy.

Tip 2: Be Prepared to Negotiate
Negotiating is an in built part of Asian culture, and is unavoidable. Be prepared, and seek advice if unsure on how to develop your pricing strategy or do not have knowledge of these many variables.
Negotiating in ASEAN has become an art, and many Australian executives will when asked for their best price, immediately give the bottom price without realising this is only the beginning of the negotiating process and are then left with a lose/lose situation.
Tip 3: Develop a structured pricing structure
When developing export and pricing strategies a company should have a well structured pricing strategy.
Put simply, price list "A" which is what you would really like to achieve, price list "B" what you would consider your domestic wholesale price and therefore acceptable, and pricelist "C" which is your final offer.
Bear in mind that many ASEAN exporters, will expect you to consider quantity discounts, longer than normal payment terms, open account, and 90% of the time exclusivity.
You have to decide whether you are to bank roll your exports at low margins, the costs of using banking instruments (L/C's), and if prices get to low whether this is a market suitable for you.
Finally one must consider shipping terms, FOB, C&F, ex-works etc., and the impact these pricing terms have on your prices.
One point to your advantage is the term exclusivity, this give you the right to demand minimum orders, minimum yearly sales and contribution to marketing and promotion costs in getting your product to market.
