you feel most productive and focused.

attention management to focus on the task at hand and not
the tasks to come.

slows down progress. Don’t overwhelm yourself.

source of procrastination, cut it.
6. Be Mindful of Your Distractions: If you’re trying to be more
productive don’t analyze how you spend your time. Analyze what
consumes your attention.
4. 7. Declutter: Your physical work environment, whether for college
or a job, actually does affect your work.

a hurry to cram everything into one day, take some to reflect on your
day’s work.
9. Take Enough Breaks: Short breaks drastically improve your
ability to focus on the task at hand. It’s okay and healthy to take
mini-breaks throughout the day.

exercise a few times a week, do it.
