Going out (ideally nature), taking only paper and notebook – start to write.
– No online distractions (you will look up, and check information later when you get back home).
– Writing by hand strengthens neural paths and also soft motoric skills.
– Today, I did more outside during 2 hours than the whole workweek inside the home office.
What "unusual" hack helps you to be more productive/effective/creative?

@nathancovey Posts for PH – usually prewrite something in Word Docs :D but when I am creating a script for my YouTube videos (educational or interview questions for guests) – I am gonna outside first and sit somewhere writing on paper with the pen (analogue world) :D

I really like the idea of going out in nature to write in a notebook. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Dedicate one or two days each week to disconnect from work completely.
Use this time to read a book, watch videos, or spend quality time with my family.

@bonvisions Don't you have sometimes in the background of your head such a feeling to work on something?

Did that yesterday on a plane! Basically just a small notebook and started writing about Videco plan till end of the year. Validation, PMF, Content, Product, goals and OKRs

@alexdigitalmkt Cool! How many paper pages have you covered? :)
Me too NIka! Starting my day with physical activity, out in nature always kicks off my day well & gets my endorphins firing! If I'm ever mentally "stuck," I just go outside, & creativity & ideas always start flowing. Nature doesn't need humanity but humanity needs nature don't you think?

@emily_willis1 wise words. That's maybe the answer why we are so relieved after exercising –> those endorphins :)
The natural environment does make it easier for people to focus on their creation

I actually found working along with any "study with me" series YouTube videos would help! It makes me feel like someone is competing, but also accompanying you. It's a weird feeling but it does help!
To be more effective and productive, it might be best to focus on a single task or thing at a time and avoid multitasking.
Interesting!
I usually do the exact opposite. I write all my stuff inside and on my laptop.
For some reason i am more creative when I write on the laptop than on paper. Probably just a habit.

I completely agree! For me, the best note-taking method is still using paper and pen. I always jot down my thoughts in a notebook first, then dedicate a day each week to organizing them into applications for sharing. This process has significantly boosted both my creativity and productivity.

@apolkingg8 you mentioned a good thing: dedicating time – it is good to give some things time and get back later to see if it works. :)

Thanks for sharing! Will keep this in mind going forward. Love the idea of being outside in nature
I also noticed that a change of scenery helps me be more productive. For example, I find that morning walks in the fresh air help me get in the mood for the day and generate ideas. All my thoughts come into order and I have a clear plan of action for the day. Sometimes, I bet on sport at https://betbazar.com/ to take my mind off work and recharge. It adds a bit of excitement and fun, which helps me find balance between productivity and relaxation.

I love this! My productivity hack is talking to my plants. They're great listeners and never interrupt. Plus, they remind me to stay rooted and keep growing! 🌱😄 What’s your plant-based productivity tip?

I try to follow a plant-based diet predominantly. Does it count too? :D @nestolobo Jokes aside :D I do not have many plants in the apartment because of exercising. I would probably damage the environment because of my "stunts" :D
