Productivity lose 〽️

Yesterday was awful 😫 I couldn't finish a small task. A lot of distractions and communication with many people made it impossible for me to do my work. In the evening I had a choice:
- go to sleep 😴
- try to do something 🧑💻
I chose to sleep.
Today in 10 minutes I finished the task estimated at 1 hour 🤯
Rest and replenish your ability to concentrate. It's not a game of working more, it's a game of working faster.
What do you do when you lose focus? Do you hustle at all costs?

I have a flow chart that I follow to combat unproductive days. Basically the starting point is identifying the reason for such - is it fatigue, health, interruptions, IT breakdown etc? Certain reasons require a short-term fix, like taking a nap or rebooting your computer, longer-term could be putting task management system in place. All depends on the reason! :)

@warda_bukhari1 nice, would you share this flow chart? Do you have it in Miro or smth like this?
I am learning to allow myself to take breaks. I wish I had this awareness as a kid (that rest is essential for the brain :)
