I start my day with a morning ritual—like some light stretching or a quick walk, then tackle my top tasks first. I also take creative breaks to brainstorm, which really helps recharge my brain. I keep wabi-sabi in mind—embracing imperfection helps me not stress too much.

To increase creativity = Go for a walk. To increase productivity = Drink caffeine.

I usually focus on creative and deep work in the early morning and prefer mundane tasks and meetings in the second half. Another thing that works for me well is to change the place of work when you are stuck or have hit a creative block.

Set aside time for creative work and get things done. Know what you want to achieve and break big tasks into smaller ones. Take breaks to rest and recharge. Limit distractions and get into the zone. Figure out what's most important and do those things first.

I usually started with creative work and then move to routine tasks.

I think motivation is the key factor in bringing creativity. If you are not mentally in the right frame of mind and not motivated/driven you will never achieve creativity. Creativity requires a peaceful mind. I've faced this last year and took me a while to understand this. That's one of the many reasons why I also developed a Motivation App. I'm soon launching it on Product Hunt.

Finding that balance can be tough! I’ve found setting specific time blocks for creative work really helps—kind of like giving yourself permission to be creative as apkskeeda without distractions.

Find myself working more towards productivity for at least 6 to 10 hours a day to keep my income steady and spend my free time and weekends per say being creative and trying new things.
