4 Simple Tricks to Transform Your Mind into a Productivity Machine
(Not enough people take advantage of the benefits of Tip 4)
Tip 1: Set clear, actionable goals. Create a list of tasks you want to accomplish each day and prioritize them. Break each task down into steps you need to take in order to complete them.
Tip 2: Eliminate distractions. Turn off notifications on your phone, close unnecessary tabs on your computer, and create a quiet workspace. Get more done in less time by saying NO to quick dopamine hits.
Tip 3: Use positive self-talk. Instead of telling yourself you can't do something, or dreading doing it, reframe it in a positive way. For example, instead of saying "I HAVE” to do this task”, try saying, “I GET to do this task”.
Tip 4: Take breaks. It may seem counterintuitive, but taking short breaks throughout the day can boost productivity. Give your brain a chance to rest and recharge before jumping back into work. Your worst work will be done in an exhausted state.

First, the WHY.
