1. Plan your day ahead of time: Starting the day with a list of tasks can facilitate a smooth beginning. 2. Prioritize your tasks: Urgency doesn't always equate to importance. 3. Take regular breaks: Rested brains are more focused; a short walk can aid productivity. 4. Time blocking: Allocate specific time slots for different tasks. 5. Single-tasking: Focus on one task at a time. Quality results stem from undivided attention. These are the things I'm aiming to do to be more productive. What else would you add to the list?🙌

This is a very nice list! For the third point, how do you choose time for breaks? Do you use the Pomodoro method or something else?

@michaelshver Thank you! I'm glad it helps! I use an app called Forest. It's based on the Pomodoro technique, but I usually set longer work periods, around 1.5-2 hours, and then take a 15-minute break. :)

Great. If you have trouble focusing or being attentive, studies have shown starting your day with meditation also helps.

Great tips! One thing I'd add is minimizing distractions, like turning off Lotus365 notifications. It really helps me stay focused.

The 2 biggest things that worked for me: 1. Getting Things Done methodology - I am not using it 100% correctly, but I for ex. do the weekly review (on Sunday) and brain dumps every week. 2. (this is more recent, but I saw a huge boost of efficiency) - I have created an alternative calendar called "Planned week". On Sunday when I am doing the weekly review and planning, I start adding tasks to my "planned week" calendar. I start by adding an hour buffer at the end of each day + some of the recurring tasks like lunch or mail check. Then I try to add in the big blocks/important stuff and then smaller tasks in between the big ones. I also try to schedule longer blocks for deep work (like writing articles/strategy/etc) Seems to work quite well:)
