These are my small tips on being productive:

- wake up early in the morning and go jogging (about 2-4 miles). Find a friend to do that with. Jog really slow, almost walk. Increase your speed over time. Depending on your age your heart rate should remain between (220-YourAge)*0,6...(220-YourAge)*0,7. So if you're 20 years old it's:

(220-20)*0,6...(220-20)*0,7
200*0,6...200*0,7
120...140

Your heartrate should remain between 120-140.This will help you with fat loss.

-While eating breakfast go over your goals (read them out loud) and focus on what you're going to do during the day to become closer to your goals.

-Plan your working schedule - Don't do ANYTHING else on that time - remain disciplined. If you have done everything you can do during your working hours... read about your field of work.

-Plan your fun. You will NEED to have fun to stay productive so you might as well plan it. Go out with your friends or whatever but it should be planned to remain disciplined.

-Have low goals until you feel comfortable with your overall schedule. Take at least 21 days for low goals if your starting out. If your schedule is a habit - you should know your limits by now - raise your goals slightly out of your comfort zone (force yourself to grow). Reach your goals no matter what. No procrastination! No whining! No excuses!

-Be nice to other people even if they are not nice to you. Be a mental giant. It WILL grow your confidence. But be careful - it doesn't mean you should let other people step on you. Speak your mind!

-Once a week look over your goals and plan ahead (i usually do that on sundays)

- "Don't sacrifice what you want to what you want right now!" Your goals are important, your current desires are not!

      I agree completely, Brian Tracy teaches these tips and I follow them as much as possible. He explained how the mind is like a vacuum and that you have to constantly feed it with positive nutritious information so you can focus on being successful and ignore negative thoughts that may arise.

        Definitely. If you're not moving forward, you're moving backward.

        Never stop pushing yourself.

      I agree, they are very important. I think staying happy NOW is a must.

    ^This is a good one. Be relentless in the pursuit of your goals.

    I'd add that being well organised is very important. Keep notes and be tidy with them. Keep your desk clear except for what you are working on right now. If you only have one computer screen, get two or even three. Be ruthlessly efficient.

    Exercise in the morning is good. Eat well too.

    And enjoy it

    I suggest:

    Reading motivational, self help books at least for half an hour to hour a day.
    Stay focused on your goals, keep them in sight.

    I think listening to motivational mp3 audios as much as you is definitely something that can influence your day. Perhaps listening to some motivational speakers on your way to work or school would really alter the way you think and help you focus on more positive things like enjoying your work.
