One of my favorite hacks is time blocking. I schedule specific blocks of time for different tasks throughout the day, so I know exactly when to focus on each activity.
I also set a timer at the start of each block to keep myself on track and avoid distractions.
How about you? What tips or habits help you stay productive when things get busy?

My top tip for staying productive on busy days is having a structured morning routine - wake up early, exercise, eat a healthy breakfast, review priorities for the day. Gets me in the right headspace to tackle whatever comes up.
Prioritising tasks
Definitely time blocking and setting mini deadlines throughout the day. Grouping similar tasks together helps too. And when all else fails, a quick 5 min break to reset and refocus!
My number one tip - kill the distractions.
Busy day or not, you’re either focused or you’re failing. Stop checking your phone every 5 minutes, stop with the pointless meetings, and stop letting other people’s chaos dictate your day. Prioritize what moves the needle, and bulldoze through it.
Get disciplined about your time. If it's not pushing you toward your goal, it's noise.
Prioritize tasks and focus on one thing at a time. Breaking the day into focused time blocks for each task helps me stay on track and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
