Every day write down 1-2 highlights for a day and do them as soon as possible.

@ovamoki Does it then make you feel better so you manage to do even more later during the day?
I try and keep multi-tasking to a bare minimum. Helps me focus and get things done faster.
@rohanpradhan Multi-tasking is proven to reduce our productivity by over 30%! You are right for doing that
@rohanpradhan @mirena_vasileva oh wow, that's some great statistics. Haven't thought of it in terms of numbers, but multi-tasking is definitely not a productivity friendly practice in a long run.
The is only one thing I try to do now => avoiding perfectionism
I'm a f****** perfectionist, and even if it's very useful daily to produce a high quality work or content, this can really be a tricky habit
So now, my productivity hack when I'm doing something only consists to say "It's never gonna be perfect"
What's yours @brajendra_kumar2 ?
@devezehugo Interesting. Over a period of time what changed that you moved away from perfectionism to being focused say ‘if it scores 7 out of 10’ I am okay with it?
Hide my phone away, set tasks and put a timer on so then I feel pressured to finish it in the given time. Otherwise it's just one big procrastination.
Journaling... helps a lot in the long run! If you are constantly monitoring your productivity, you have a great chance of improving over time!
@aghhelmut yes, I came across interstitial journalling recently. Now I take stock of how I'm feeling inbetween tasks (30secs) and it's been helping me to build better work routines
Planning your day the night before. You subconsiously prepare your self for the tasks ahead, and know exactly what you will be doing in the morning.
Checking 'where is my mind at the moment?' by setting the alarm.
It's like a focus check. It's a big help to get back in focus and complete priority tasks first.
Don't really have a specific one
Just sit down and do the work
But setting reasonable goals is very useful, prevents you from burning out
Planning at the end of the day all the next day, it goes very well and makes me more focused.
big advocate of the daily highlight, and I also interweave journalling as part of the daily planning process. Taking a moment to write down 3 things I'm grateful for and how I'll make the day great
Lo-fi music for tasks that require low to mid brainpower.
But I go to a completely different environment with all distractions/notifications off when I need to really squeeze my brain.
Timeblocking, prioritizing 1-2 important things to focus on first, YouTube pomodoro playlists (so I know when it's time to take a break)! 😅
Track time spent on tasks. Create certain time limits to spend on a particular task and focus just on that one in a given moment.
With this simple tactic I manage to save a lot of time and increase my outcomes. So definitely recommend :)
Also, guys, would be super grateful if you support my first product launch on PH which is actually also about time management and productivity enhancement!

One of the most effective productivity hacks is the Pomodoro technique, which involves breaking down your workday into 25-minute increments with short breaks in between.
I have a simple one - I split my to-do list in two: one with three tasks and one with the other 237. And I NEVER have more than three items in the first one.
Do not compromise on your sleep. The better you sleep the better you will be able to focus the next day!
