Meditation before I start reviewing my to do list which was prepared the previous day so as to have a second more sober look at the day's priorities

@apollon440 This approach feels very worth trying. Do you use any apps to assist with meditation?
@zhao_naomi I use muse headset which assists in calming me down with guided meditation sessions accompanied by serene sounds of nature (such as waves, underwater sounds or waterfalls) or when in hurry, I use some guided meditation sessions that I have saved from youtube
first moments set the day's tone.
i begin with stillness, a quiet ritual.
sipping tea, feeling its warmth.
reflecting on the day's intention.
glancing over tasks, aligning priorities.
embracing gratitude for the work ahead.
then diving in, with purpose.
it's about anchoring oneself before the storm of tasks.
Planning and dividing the time
Morning priority tasks which will have a huge impact
Afternoon - low-priority tasks
evening - some research and unproductive tasks
Straight work. I have my phone turned on flight mode through the night, and turn it off only after my first work block is complete - around 10 am
@jacobsjourney Thank you for sharing your tips on staying focused. It sounds very practical and I will definitely give it a try.
Checking emails and messages... then I have a morning meeting with my team. I am most productive in the mornings and later at night. Afternoons are usually a struggle to keep focused.
@danchadney Same here, I can't concentrate in the afternoon, especially after 4 pm. 😅 So, I always delay some work to do at night after going home. I knew it's a bad habit, but I just can't help doing it.
Read news. I don't know why. But I power up my PC, Open browser, and Read 5-10 news articles before i start the work. It's a habit that I don't regret😄.
@arun_prakash12 Of course, keeping ourselves updated with the latest news is always a good habit. It helps us stay informed and aware of what's happening around us. Keep it up!
@bzcrk I don't know if it's a bad habit. I always check my phone as soon as I wake up to see the time, weather, and any missed notifications as well.
At the office the first thing I do is say hi to everyone on my team and small talk, at home the first thing I do is check my schedule for the day and write out my to-do list
@james_sukosd That was really nice! I strongly believe that engaging in small talk with teams before starting work can significantly boost team morale.
When I arrive at the office, the first thing I do is turn on the music and make coffee. Then I plan my day and organize my tasks.
@zhao_naomi We have a huge office with good acoustics. In the morning, before my colleagues start calling, I turn it into a jazz club (vocal or just instrumental jazz).
And in the evenings, depending on my mood, I turn on classic old-school rock or chillout, lofi.
Check Slack -> check emails -> coffee https://projectfreetv.onl/

Fill in a simple daily trackers with the KPIs that are most important for me :)
@serhii_uspenskyi Me too. However, I often find myself distracted by notification emails from subscribed newsletters, which wastes a significant amount of time every morning. I am currently try to adjust my daily routine to increase productivity.
