Also turning off notifications and creating deep work blocks significantly boosts productivity. And Deep Work

Surprisingly, getting enough sleep clears my mind and boosts focus, making me far more productive the next day.
underrated tip for me would be doing only one thing at a time. i thought i needed to motivate myself more but blocking out distractions has helped me much more. not even 15 or 20 minutes of focus does not seem less producttive.

truly, moving my phone to another room helps more than resisting its temptation. out of sight, out of mind means 30 minutes less time on scrolling through Facebook.

Whenever I have to do any work i keeps my phone in some other room. It sounds little ridiculous but keeping away from the distraction is mch more effective for me than just focusing hard.

I use 25 min focus sessions and then take a short break. It works pretty well for me.

for me, staying away from my mobile phone is far more helpful than any productivity application available. once that is sorted, it becomes easy to concentrate on the task at hand.
At first I was trying to works in 25 to 30 minute blocks with my phone out of sight. This is basic stuff but taking aways the distractions really helped me concentrate.

One strategy that worked well for me was intentionally not finishing certain small tasks, so I could go back to them later. This way I will have some thing to work on straight away without spending 20 minutes deciding what to do.

Turn off social media and train your brain to do small work related tasks a couple of minutes at a time, then increase the work tasks gradually. Give yourself 1 week for your brain to get accustomed with the work and increase by 5-10 minutes per time. Take a couple of breaks in between the work tasks. Gradually increase to 1 hour or more and there you have it, it's the recipe for success!
