Office people in China face tremendous pressure from work, both physically and psychologically. Yet despite the stress, a group of people have emerged who know how to balance work and life. They nickname themselves "Rainbow Masses". They make a summary of their living habits and match them with the seven colors of a rainbow. Here they are and find out how you too can become a "Rainbow Person".

Red: Improve work efficiency, avoid working overtime and have a relaxing weekend.

High work efficiency allows people to have more time for fun. To improve work efficiency, a plan is necessary. Don't make the plan too full and be flexible for changes. Arrange similar duties together to avoid wasting time changing back and forth. Form the habit of using short periods of time to look after trivial things. You can also save time through communication. Call someone when you have his phone number instead of sending him messages through MSN or QQ.

Having a relaxed weekend enables people to face the challenges of a new week full of energy. You can do many things like going to the spa, visiting hair or beauty salons, watching movies, playing badminton or table-tennis. These activities help people relax without exhausting their energy.

Orange: Have enough sleep and improve sleep quality.

Go to bed before 12am, because it's said the period between 12am and 3am is the best time for sleep. Play some light music and have a cup of warm milk, which helps some people fall asleep faster.

Don't keep too many green plants in bedroom, because they consume oxygen at night, thus leaving less oxygen for people when they sleep. Also, don't drink too much water before going to bed, because too much water will cause people to get up to go to toilet during the night.

Yellow: Say no to unhealthy fast food and say no to junk food.

Unhealthy foods like instant noodles, instant coffee, and fast food restaurants seldom appear in a Rainbow Person's house. A Rainbow Person may also get tired or lazy so he doesn't want to spend much energy and time on cooking. To deal with such situation, he keeps food like eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes at home, which is healthy, nutritional and also easy to eat.

Stay away from junk food. Drink green tea instead of carbonated soft drinks. Replace potato chips with fruits while watching TV.
