How to improve productivity in daily tasks

✅ 1. Plan Your Day Ahead

Night Before or Morning: Write down your tasks for the next day.
Use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize:
→ Urgent & Important
→ Important but Not Urgent
→ Urgent but Not Important
→ Not Urgent & Not Important

⏱️ 2. Use Time Blocks or Pomodoro

Time Blocking: Assign fixed time slots for tasks.
Pomodoro Technique:
→ 25 minutes of focused work
→ 5-minute break
→ After 4 sessions, take a 15-30 minute break

🧠 3. Focus on One Task at a Time

Avoid multitasking – it reduces quality and efficiency.
Use "Do Not Disturb" mode on devices to stay focused.

🛠️ 4. Use Tools & Apps

To-do lists: Todoist, Microsoft To-Do
Time tracking: Toggl, RescueTime
Note-taking: Notion, Evernote
Calendars: Google Calendar for reminders and deadlines

🍽️ 5. Take Care of Your Energy

Sleep well (7–8 hours)
Eat balanced meals – don't skip breakfast
Stay hydrated
Exercise or stretch – even 10 mins helps

🚫 6. Eliminate Distractions

Identify time-wasters (e.g. social media, unnecessary calls)
Keep your phone away during deep work sessions
Use website blockers like Cold Turkey or StayFocusd

💪 7. Start with the Hardest Task First (Eat That Frog Technique)

Tackle your most challenging or important task when your energy is highest – usually in the morning.

📝 8. Reflect & Review

At the end of the day, review:
- What did I complete?
- What can be improved?
- What’s pending for tomorrow?

🌱 Bonus Tips:

Keep your workspace clean.
Batch similar tasks (like emails or calls).
Learn to say no to tasks that don't serve your goals.
