As a productive person, I follow some habits that help me get more done and achieve my goals. First and foremost, I avoid multitasking and focus on one task at a time. This allows me to give my full attention to each task, resulting in higher quality work.

I also eliminate distractions by turning off my gadgets, especially my mobile phone and tablet, when I need to focus. I understand that these devices can easily pull me away from what’s important, so I put them in focus mode.

I limit my time talking to others and keep my conversations focused on the task at hand. Additionally, I don’t let failures discourage me. Instead, I view mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow.

Having a consistent morning and night ritual also helps me stay productive. Like Mark Twain once said, “Eat a live frog, first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” So, I start my day by tackling the hardest task first.

I also apply the 80/20 rule, which states that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. This means that I focus on the 2 most important tasks out of 10, to maximize my productivity.

Finally, I make sure to take regular breaks, even if it’s just for a short walk outside the office. Research has shown that this can boost my productivity and help me return to work feeling more enthusiastic and capable of coping with stress.
