    Definitely start time blocking your schedule! Use your calendar to carve out focused blocks for different types of work - emails, deep work, meetings, etc. I also recommend using a task management app like Notion, ClickUp or Todoist to plan out your week, day, and tasks so you know exactly what to focus on during each time block. Helps keep you on track and minimizes decision fatigue throughout the day. Oh, and learning keyboard shortcuts for the apps you use most can shave off a surprising amount of time!

    1. Avoid Tackling Work Emails First Thing in the Morning Unless an email is urgent, it's better to schedule a specific time in the afternoon to respond to non-urgent messages. 2. Explore New Productivity Tools Consider asking your colleagues about the tools, software, or apps they find useful. Don't hesitate to share your thoughts and embrace new methods for improving efficiency. Now I find iBoysoft MagicMenu ( https://iboysoft.com/magic-menu/) to make the Finder on MacBook work faster and more conveniently. This freeware greatly enhances the right-click context menu with new and upgraded functions, such as creating new files, copying or moving items, quick access to files, and more. These additions streamline document management, saving you from tedious, repetitive tasks. 3. Minimize Distractions by Storing Your Phone To maintain focus during work hours, I have tried keeping the phone in a cabinet or out of sight. 4. Capture Inspiration Anytime Whether you're commuting, reading at night, or in another setting, jot down any ideas that could enhance your work.

    I started meal prepping on weekends, and it’s been a good thing. Having ready-to-go meals has cut down my daily cooking time significantly.

    I have a little kid, so I work 4-5 hours a day. I've realized that I accomplish the same amount of work as I did in 6-7 hours because I know I won’t have more time, so I stay focused and avoid distractions. I have a clear daily plan, prepare meals in advance, and work out at home to save time instead of going to the gym.

    Adopting a morning routine has been huge for me. Starting the day with a set routine helps me get focused and productive right from the start.

    I think minimizing distractions by storing your phone is a great tip. For me, it’s easy to lose track of time scrolling through social media, so keeping my phone out of sight during work hours really helps me stay focused and get more done

    Scheduling a specific time to respond to non-urgent emails is something I’ve started doing recently, and I think it’s made my mornings a lot more productive. For me, it’s all about tackling the most important tasks when I’m freshest, and leaving the emails for later.

    Absolutely! I started putting my phone on silent and leaving it in another room while working. It's crazy how much more focused and efficient I am without the constant interruptions from notifications. I've probably saved an hour or more each day. Also been trying out this new AI-powered calendar app called Reclaim.ai that automatically optimizes my schedule based on my habits and preferences. Game changer for sure! 🙌

    Actually, it's a weekly routine that saves me the most time daily: I plan out my week at the beginning of the week, and then I make micro-adjustments daily.
