Staying productive and motivated throughout the day can be a challenge (especially on a Monday)! I've heard of people using coffee, meditation, exercise, and everything in between to get through their day. So, what's your go-to method for staying productive and motivated throughout the day? Share your insights and thoughts!

Create a list of 10 tasks. Drink a coffee while doing the first 3. Take a 5 minute break on the terrace. Do another 3. Take a 30 minute break for lunch. Do 7th and 8th task. 15 minute break. Do the last 2. *The most important tasks are first on the list.*

@imjohnkoo Sure! Let me know your experience.

@lule29 Agree with this completely! To-list, coffee, and breaks (I like to take short walks) are essential!

@shreyasiyer totally understand and agree 💯

Limited meetings, time blocking, physical movement to prevent inertia.

making a to do list is one hack and not overthinking is another

@shubhangi_sharma5 The to-do list is a must for me! Hard to start my day without it.

Focus for 45/90 minutes straight in a location and then take a 30 min brake and move to another location (can be within the office or at a coffe shop, home, park etc...)

@filippo_pietrantonio Love this! Definitely find that changing your workspace location can help you focus more. When you're at the same desk all day, the days also bleed together much more easily.

1. Time blocking 2. Taking regular breaks

I start by setting clear goals for the day. I decide what important things I need to accomplish. This helps me stay focused and know what I need to work on TODAY. I break tasks into smaller steps. This makes them easier to handle, and I can work on one step at a time. Taking short breaks in every 2 hours, walking to different room, hi hello to other people recharge me well. While checking my task list, I find I have done this this and left with that that boost me to finish the tasks ASAP.
