@sreeramanmg I start my day by setting clear goals and prioritizing tasks—it keeps me focused on what matters most. Also the Pomodoro Technique has been a lifesaver; I get more done without feeling overwhelmed.

I rely on the Pomodoro Technique—working in focused 25-minute intervals followed by short breaks—to stay productive and avoid burnout.

I love to keep my mind relaxed in the morning by doing nothing, which helps me curb those soft anxieties as the day begins. It is very hard to say that everything is organized and well-planned at all days in today's times when everything coming at you feels overwhelmed.

But having a mindset to not give up on anything coming to me is something i solely rely on. The best part of my routine is to sleep well, eat well, and focus one thing at a time. I think this is something that helps us stay grounded and productive throughout the day.

My go-to strategy is time-blocking. I set dedicated blocks of time for specific tasks and avoid distractions during each block. This helps me stay focused and make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed. I also take short breaks between blocks to recharge, which keeps my energy up throughout the day. It’s a simple technique, but it really improves my productivity and helps me avoid burnout.

I get my sleep and my steps, break big projects into small tasks, put those tasks into my Pomodoro-inspired app kosmodrom.work, turn them into rockets and launch them to space 🚀

Violetta Chernobuk · Answer

My go-to strategy for boosting productivity is setting up a structured routine with time blocks for specific types of tasks. I use the first part of the day for deep, focused work when energy and focus are highest, tackling high-priority or creative tasks. Later, I shift to meetings, emails, and less intensive tasks. Also, I minimize distractions by keeping notifications off during focus time and use tools to organize my workflow, like task lists or project boards. Regular breaks are essential too—they keep my energy up and help avoid burnout.

Meduard · Answer

I find that if I'm productive the first 15-30 mins of the day then I'll be productive for the whole day. Can be anything, simply going through tasks and refining them or sending emails or whatever that I change/produce smthg.
