Highlights
- I used to wake up, go to work, come back home, work more and then boom it used to be 2 am.
- I was not happy with the way my days were going
- A productivity system keeps you focused on your goals
- swear, the day I started creating a checklist of things I need to do and sticking them off once I got them done — that was AMAZING
- I won’t add things like 9 pm — 10 pm dinner , 4 pm — 5 pm rest. These are the things that I will do according to my will. I block time for two things Meetings and Deep work. These are the things that I want to be prepared for mentally and have ample time for each.
- So the number one thing I do it Time Blocking-> By having a fixed time for focused work I minimise distractions. Through creating blocks for deep work, leisure, learning, exercise, and more, individuals can cultivate a sense of control over their schedules and enhance productivity.
- This way you can divide the bigger daunting tasks into smaller goals.
- Pomodoro Technique. It is where I study for 30 min and set 5 min as a break time. In those 30 minutes I don’t use my phone and stray away from all distractions. Post that I get up for 5 minutes, roam around, get a breath of fresh air, drink water and just chill.
- I use Forest app for my pomodoro.
