The Secret To Unlimited Productivity..
I don't think there is a one size fits all "secret" as such when it comes to productivity, but here are my top tips.
1. Early mornings: When you get up early, (5am) you can have a few productivity power hours as everyone else is asleep. You will have no distractions, and you will be able to solely focus on what you need to do.
2. Music: Certain music puts me right in the zone and I can complete tasks such as building websites or writing emails twice as fast as I would without the "noise". Your taste and productivity may vary, but some of my favorites are old C&C soundtracks or Final Fantasy Soundtracks.
3. Breaks: Never underestimate the effects of an intermittent break from a task. If you feel like you are spinning your wheels and just can't get to the next step. Take a break, 5 minutes can be plenty or you may need more. Stretching our legs and getting the blood flowing is very important when you're sat at your computer 12+ hours a day!
4. Stay hydrated: I struggled with this one when I first started the laptop lifestyle. You can easily see the day pass you by without eating or drinking when your head is stuck in the computer. However, with just a couple of percent decrease in water, we can see our mood and concentration drastically decrease. That's why it's so important to drink regularly.
5.Take a day off: As much as we would like to get rich as quickly as possible so we can have all our days off. It's important to recharge, reflect and recoup often. I found once a week is a good point for me. Maybe you can survive on once a month. Whatever the case, you must rest sometimes, or you will find yourself burning out and possibly not being able to recover for months, maybe even years!
So there's my 5 productivity "hacks". Add your own below...
