Working to the sound of the beat while listening to music adds a little oomph to my productivity I've found!

Heard it on Andrew Huberman's podcast - drinking coffee 90-120 minutes after waking up. Really helped me with the afternoon feeling of tiredness!
Anything you'd like to share, @inderpreet_singh1 ? :)
@inderpreet_singh1 @veselin_kostov Many useful tips to be incorporated from Andrew's Podcast. The one I've been using is getting morning sunlight as soon as I wake up to set my body clock. Very helpful in making sure I'm sleepy around bedtime...
@veselin_kostov I eat some dark chocolate whenever it feels like i am not able to focus much. Other times a glass of water always do wonders.
@abhi_kum14 This is something i was thinking of doing. Will start with this soon.
@new_user__314202209d41260d10e570f this is something that would surely increase the productivity 😄

Pomodoro technique works well!

@edworking It's one of the best ways to stay focused and productive

@mycelebs_elle It definitely does!
Listening to music while working is one that keeps really focus. Can be any type of music: hip hop, rock, pop, movie soundtracks, classical...
@mehdi_rifai Music helps me too!
@mehdi_rifai You guys the same as I am!
1. Drinking water and electrolytes helps with focus
2. Regulating the nervous system by getting up and moving my body with intention or doing a few specific movements. This is to address tension and stress or anxiety in the body, which affects thinking.
3. Cold shower for 30 seconds before my regular shower.
@sandra_salis Thanks for the electrolyte tip :)

For every 20 minutes of work, I take a 5 minutes break. Currently building a tool that helps teams stay motivated as a whole through processes like daily work reporting and appraisals, you can check it out on https://refro.space
@solomon_nwabuoku Congratulations and all the best for the product. I will surely check it out
eating a higher protein diet has helped me make it through longer stints of working without needing a snack
Not exactly unconventional, but first principles theory always works. Breaking a task into the smallest possible and then tackling them individually.
This is how we're approaching our launch for PATR as well - https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
We'd be delighted to have your support!
@aditi13shah All the best for the launch. Will surely support the launch

The biggest thing that has worked for me is going to the gym in the morning before work! Congrats on all of your success so far! Be sure to check out Cuely, we just launched today as well, cheers!
@ben_putzer Thanks for the encouragement and all the best

Shutting down all the communication apps did wonders for me

don’t break the chain, write just 1 line of code per day
@karthik_sarpatwari Correct !!
One unconventional productivity hack that has worked well for me is to take regular breaks throughout the day. While it may seem counterintuitive, taking short breaks can actually help improve productivity by giving your brain a chance to rest and recharge. I find that taking a few minutes to step away from my work and stretch or do a quick exercise can help me feel more focused and energized when I return to my work.
Another unconventional productivity hack that has worked well for me is to use the "two-minute rule." This rule states that if a task can be done in two minutes or less, you should do it immediately rather than adding it to your to-do list. This helps to prevent small tasks from piling up and can help free up mental space to focus on more significant projects.
Finally, I have found that using a standing desk can help me stay focused and productive throughout the day. Standing while working can help improve posture, reduce back pain, and increase energy levels, all of which can contribute to increased productivity.
While these productivity hacks may not work for everyone, I have found them to be effective in helping me stay focused and productive.
Practicing sports in the morning or having an early homemade brunch for breakfast. I noticed that starting my day with practice or having a real homemade meal puts me in a special position where i need to increase the ROI of every task that i perform during the rest of my day 🙂
