I picked up the following tips from a photographer I follow on You Tube. I've adapted his suggestions to apply to more of us.
How to be productive.
1. Sleep - Some people say get up at 5am to get a start on the day... no, good sleep is the key to good productivity, so try to get 7-9 hours sleep during the week.
2. Make lists, quick tasks and long tasks.
3. Write down all your ideas and tasks. Don't try to remember everything.
4. Go to work or sit in different places to reduce your distractions and give yourself time to think.
5. Be aware of distractions before they impact on your productivity. Limit your screen time, especially on your mobile phone. Remove apps from your phone that distract you the most.
6. In the last 15 minutes of the day plan the following day, jobs, tasks, exercise and empty your head so you sleep well.
7. Learning to say NO rather than yes to everything. That will give you more time to work on things you want to work on and avoid the things that don't thrill you.
8. Learning to take constructive breaks, have a coffee, and break from a long task with a short task.
