Have a list of tasks you want to accomplish and then sneak in a few tasks you genuinely enjoy to work on in between the more boring ones
This works pretty well for me at least!

I make a check list highlighting what matters most for today.

A simple daily to-do list. I procrastinate a lot, so this is how I order my list:
1. Super easy task.
2. Distasteful task.
3. Fun tasks that I actually enjoy doing.
The reason for this is that I like to cross things off my list. When I have easy things on top, like, 'Check website traffic', I can finish it off quickly, and crossing it off gives me a hit of dopamine. Stack a few of these and you're fully motivated to do the boring task. After crossing off the boring task, I pick a fun task so I stay motivated.
I also make it a point to pick only one or two big tasks per day. I'd rather spend an entire day working on a sales enablement deck and do it well than spend half a day working on it and doing it poorly because I spent too much time on a less important task.
Hope this helps :)

I intend to jot down every task in my diary. Then act on the easy ones first. I ensure I have enough time to act on the items that require collaboration and a lot of research.

I always have just 3 main tasks to work on. The rest is in the queue until one of these is finised.
I split my day into two parts, one is always fully dedicated to one project. No notifications, or meetings. If I need to have a meeting, I have a scrict meeting blocks, two per day the most.
I'm actually trying to cover this way of handling the calendar with my new app, we're launching here on PH soon!
Since the beginning of the day, I write down my priorities and make a checklist of tasks as I go.

1. List my tasks into a Quadrant
2. Find out what's the most urgent and important task, that's the 1st priority
3. Find out what's the not urgent but important task, that's the 2nd priority
4. Ignore urgent but not important and not urgent and not important tasks
5. If we done it correctly, we should have very few urgent and important tasks, and which leads us to solely focus on not urgent but important tasks.
I use this desktop app called todoist to manage my tasks for the day and make sure that i don’t miss out on anything
Focus on one task at a time: Multitasking can be counterproductive, as it can lead to distractions and decrease productivity. Focus on one task at a time, and complete it before moving on to the next task.

Write daily standup and then plan the day accordingly

I think that just working on something for a long time doesn't always mean you're being productive. It's actually better to achieve small goals in a shorter amount of time.
That's why I use an alarm to remind me every 30 minutes about what I'm doing. This helps me decide if what I'm doing is really productive or not.

@edworking Yes, I use notion building blocks on that, and that is working for me for now...
For bookings I have my calendar setup and that is pretty much it))
To prioritize tasks and manage time effectively, use goal-setting, create to-do lists, break tasks into smaller parts, set deadlines, and consistently evaluate and adjust your priorities.
