Top 5 Productivity Tips

The main ingredient for productivity – self-love. Silence your inner critic and praise yourself for even small successes. Start by praising yourself if you have at least one of these habits.

1. Don't overwork

Charles Darwin worked 4.5 hours a day, with his theory of evolution becoming world-famous. Research proves that humans are able to concentrate deeply for no more than 4 hours each day.

     2. Allow yourself to be imperfect

Remember that it's better to be less than perfect than not at all. Allocate a certain amount of time to each task, or perfectionism will consume all your energy.

      3. Close all unnecessary tabs and applications.

Leave only the resources you need at the moment and save the most important sites to your browser bookmarks.

     4. Eat «frogs» for breakfast

First do the most difficult and unpleasant tasks: this will guarantee you a good mood throughout the day. In addition, the amount of time spent on «frog» you determine yourself. (See point 2).

„If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.“ (Mark Twain)

    5. Use earplugs

We know how annoying extraneous noises can be. You want to kill the neighbors who disturb your studies. Silicon earplugs or instrumental music can help you ignore the outside world. If possible, get up as early as possible to carve out a few hours of your quietest time.
