I would like to share a few tips for your productivity. I was able to do many tests on myself and advise some friends. So I would like to share this with you and get your feedback.
In the morning you will work, the brain is fresh, the toxins have been eliminated during the night. You are ready to succeed. I therefore advise you to start with the most complicated tasks, requiring the most mental resources.
A lot of water you will drink, we all work a lot on computers or smartphones and we need maximum attention. Drinking water improves your attention (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/263648.php) and will also prevent you from having headaches.
Music you will listen (or not), THE BIG DEBATE. For complicated tasks requiring a lot of mental resources I recommend working with very soft, fluid music or without music. For those who are repetitive tasks that you are used to doing without concentration you can go there haha!
A schedule you will do, the day before you write down all the tasks you have to do, many people advise you to make a precise schedule. Nevertheless, I prefer not to set myself a time slot. I ALWAYS start with small tasks, just to start the machine.
In your choices you will limit yourself. Thatās why I advise you to do your schedule of tasks the day before. Every choice you make is less mental energy. Establishing a certain routine will therefore be very beneficial, I assure you.
Your phone will let you go. Try to cut off notifications as much as possible when you perform important tasks. This may seem like a ābasicā advice, but it is CLEARLY to be implemented.
And there are many others, I suggest you (as on jarvee by the way), to do your own tests, see what works with you. We are all different and that is what makes our individual strength.
Have a great day all !
You can share your tips too, it will be a pleasure.
Just wanted to chime in on this point- I find working with music that has no words/lyrics to work great, but music with words/lyrics (singing) are distracting.
I also prefer working while listening to music, I feel weird without it. If not music, then some podcast or sometimes being on calls with other people actually help me (probably what I will do on the next mpsocial meetup, working while listening to your beautiful voices ).
