I like breaking tasks into small steps and setting a deadline for each one. This will help me stay more focused while handling these tasks and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

@focusaur Breaking tasks into smaller steps really does make them feel more manageable.

Energy-Based Task Sorting = i often categorize tasks by energy requirement and plan before initiate = 10-minute buffers between different types of tasks to allow your brain to properly transition, reducing mental fatigue.

@ajay27324 Love the energy-based sorting idea! The 10-minute buffer is a great touch to prevent burnout. Definitely trying this!
My favorite productivity hack is to plan my week in advance and then break it down into daily to-do lists. I find that this helps me stay organized and focused, and it also gives me a sense of accomplishment as I check things off my list throughout the week.

@oksana_ch Planning ahead really does set the tone for a productive week. I've also found that breaking big tasks into smaller chunks makes them less overwhelming. Keep crushing those to-dos!

Make a to-do list and start by wrapping up the tasks that take less time first.

Using the Pomodoro technique keeps me focused and prevents burnout.

@samuel_kahlo Same here! The Pomodoro technique is a game-changer.

For me, it's all about starting the day with the hardest task first.

@samber_samsa Knocking out the most challenging task first sets the day's tone.

Daily journaling really helps me! I jot down priorities every morning.

@sandra_addison That's such a great habit!

Two monitors. One's vertical for reading/coding, one's horizontal for everything else.
