What's one small habit that changed the way you work?

One small habit that really changed the way I work is dedicating the first 10 minutes of my day to planning. Before diving into emails or tasks, I take a moment to prioritize my goals for the day, breaking them down into manageable steps. It might seem small, but having a clear direction helps me stay focused and avoid getting sidetracked.

Wash my teeth with my non dominant hand when I wake up. Super easy, you notice it actually wakes you app faster, and from there on I went through a loophole of small improvements in my habits.

I have an office-sized whiteboard in my home office. It lets me gather my thoughts on a large canvas in a way that's persistent and doesn't get lost with table clutter

I would say that movement/exercising. When I am too much at the desktop, it is like forcing myself to come up with ideas. I need to break that "slowmood" and go outside. During that time I can meet people or just having a walk that's enough... after that, I have my energy back so I can work another couple of hours.

I just started tracking everything I do in notion and I'm loving it. It keeps me organized.

I started my day with memes, and finished too

I learn new skills after some time and this help me to become more versatile

For me using a timetracker like togglr and whenever its on I restrict myself from doing anything thats not work related (not even music). And this is making me way more productive than I was.

Started keeping a "done list" instead of just a to-do list. Game changer! Now I actually see what I accomplish each day instead of constantly stressing about what's left. Sometimes the smallest shifts make the biggest impact.

I skip meal sometimes due to work but I now understand that health is very important. I am paying full attention on my health

I don't like mess so I regularly clean up my work place, organize my things. This habit is helping me to avoid stress and increas my efficiency

One small habit that’s made a big difference for me is doing a daily end-of-day review. I spend 10 minutes before wrapping up to reflect on what went well, what could’ve gone better, and prioritize tasks for the next day. It not only helps me start the next day with clarity but also gives me a sense of accomplishment (even on chaotic days!). Simple but surprisingly effective for staying focused and stress-free. Your planning habit sounds awesome too – it’s amazing how these small rituals can have such a big impact!

Keeping a to-do list, or mapping out an entire project. It takes out an element of decision-making, and it means you can jump between tasks easily! I use this even for my normal day to day. Sometimes in the evening I'll be feeling productive enough to do something, and being able to refer to a list means it's super easy for me to get things done.

I recently started work/life documentation to help me keep track of what I've done throughout the day. Prior to journaling down my day, my life was a bit unorganized. I could remember what I did a day or two ago, but what did I do last week? Last month? I felt constantly busy but what was I so busy for? Have I been using my time wisely? These were some of the questions I've been asking myself. Being able to document down what I've done has been helpful for me to feel organized and more accomplished.

Recognising when I am tired and rescheduling the work. I am tons more effective when I'm energised.

I end my day by tidying up my workspace. coming into a clean desk helps me focus

Setting a shutdown time each day helped me create a better work life balance
