5 things that helped me get the most out of my working hours
1. Plan your day ahead of time: Starting the day with a list of tasks can facilitate a smooth beginning.
2. Prioritize your tasks: Urgency doesn't always equate to importance.
3. Take regular breaks: Rested brains are more focused; a short walk can aid productivity.
4. Time blocking: Allocate specific time slots for different tasks.
5. Single-tasking: Focus on one task at a time. Quality results stem from undivided attention.
These are the things I'm aiming to do to be more productive. What else would you add to the list?🙌

This is a very nice list! For the third point, how do you choose time for breaks? Do you use the Pomodoro method or something else?
@michaelshver Thank you! I'm glad it helps! I use an app called Forest. It's based on the Pomodoro technique, but I usually set longer work periods, around 1.5-2 hours, and then take a 15-minute break. :)
Lili Péntek's insights on maximizing working hours are incredibly valuable. Adopting these strategies could significantly enhance productivity and work-life balance for many.
Great tips! One thing I'd add is minimizing distractions, like turning off Lotus365 notifications. It really helps me stay focused.
The 2 biggest things that worked for me:
1. Getting Things Done methodology - I am not using it 100% correctly, but I for ex. do the weekly review (on Sunday) and brain dumps every week.
2. (this is more recent, but I saw a huge boost of efficiency) - I have created an alternative calendar called "Planned week". On Sunday when I am doing the weekly review and planning, I start adding tasks to my "planned week" calendar. I start by adding an hour buffer at the end of each day + some of the recurring tasks like lunch or mail check. Then I try to add in the big blocks/important stuff and then smaller tasks in between the big ones. I also try to schedule longer blocks for deep work (like writing articles/strategy/etc)
Seems to work quite well:)
