Start with the most exciting or creative task to get into a flow state. Mix in some quick wins to build momentum. Take short active breaks to re-energize. Batch similar tasks together to minimize context switching. Tackle the toughest to-do after lunch when energy is high. End on a fun note to finish strong!

Start with the most fun task to ease into the day.
I write down 3 top priorities and focus on those.
A quick 10-minute walk helps me reset.
I schedule short sprints of focused work.
Workout, get coffee and do a fun task to start the day. Something that makes you feel accomplished right off the bat.
I plan a reward for finishing my to-do list.
A change of scenery, like working from a café, helps.
I start my day with my Motivation Beast App (launching soon). I swipe a few times and read motivational quotes that gives me a energy boost to start my day. https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Starting with a fun task always helps kickstart my productivity! I also try to break down my to-do list into smaller, manageable chunks. Tackling the most important tasks first thing in the morning when I'm feeling fresh helps me gain momentum for the rest of the day. Oh and can't forget about staying hydrated and taking short breaks to recharge. Anyone else have productivity hacks that work well for them on slow Mondays?
Forget that it is Monday. Start the day writing down ONE thing you want to get done.
Do it again once you're done!

Try setting specific goals for the day and breaking them down into manageable tasks. My task today is to launch Cooraft!
Starting with something enjoyable can really set a positive tone and boost productivity throughout the day.
Launching soon!
How do I turn a slow Monday into a productive day? By spending the weekend living my best life watching shows, eating pizzas, and pretending it’s the last weekend.
I’ve realised Mondays are just the way of saying, 'Time to pay for your fun!'

I agree, tackling a fun task first thing Monday totally boosts my motivation and productivity for the day! Another tip: block off an hour midday to handle quick action items or loose ends. Knocking those out gives me momentum to power through the bigger afternoon tasks.
I'd say pick the task you've been dreading the most and just get it out of the way first thing. The rest of the day will feel like a breeze in comparison and you'll have that sense of accomplishment to ride on!

A quick meeting or call can help focus my mind.
