How can you transform a day that started off unproductive into a productive one?

I write down one or two simple tasks that I want to get done, then go take a break for a while. Usually when I return, I feel more motivated to tackle the task at hand since I've had time to consider it and it's no longer as daunting.

End the day with something you wanna achieve and give you sense of satisfaction
I find that taking a 30 min nap helps a lot haha! Sleep is a really powerful thing
For me a 30 min reset works. I walk my dog or take a nap, make a coffee and look out the window, call a friend or a family member.
For me, if I'm working from home, going out and working from a cafe or library is very effective. In addition, when I clarify and list the things to do, it seems more complete and it becomes easier to take action.
Take a small break in order to reset and refocus. Write down your tasks and stick strictly to the schedule. :)
Split your day into quarters. Morning, Afternoon, Evening, & Night. Just because you messed up one quarter doesn't mean all other quarters have to be bad. I like to treat each quarter as a fresh start if I messed up a previous quarter.
Stop thinking about you wasted your day and start doing your work
Take a few minutes to assess to-do list and prioritize tasks
If you can't get a big win get a small win.
