It's important to take breaks throughout the day, even if it's just for a few minutes. Get up and move around, or step outside for some fresh air.

It's ultra annoying but I set like 10 alarms on my phone every day to give me a loud audio cue to keep it moving. If I don't have such cues, I lose focus easily and fritter away my time. So, having a conditioned response to such cues keeps me in line. I did change my ringtone to Sia's Unstoppable to also tell my brain every day that I'm powerful, confident, and continually winning in life and business. It's free therapy and auto-suggestion, as it's a mantra that's now stuck in my head, and rings 10-15 times a day.

While working on numerous projects, we try to manage work time using an online Gantt diagram. This handy visual representation helps in efficient time management. Having a robust task time tracker that comes with our Gantt chart maker, we can track time spent on our tasks by all team members. The chart also helps us set dependencies, assign resources, and establish milestones. We regularly update the chart to monitor progress and communicate it with our stakeholders.
