Hey, all! Hope you are having a lovely (and productive) week😉
What is something small that boosts your productivity? For me, it must be the sun coming from my window, coffee, or a good night of rest. I also value music and random breaks throughout the day in which I do something different (e.g pilates, a german lesson, reading, etc)
What about you?

@nikkielizdemere Hi) It is very interesting point but for me aside from keeping water at the desk very important to track my daily water intake. I am curious how many people do it)
Working in a small cave-like office at The Yard. I have terrible ADD and this keeps me hyper focused. No distractions at all!
Linking what I do to the bigger outcome. It's a mindset game. Once I get the two connected it's like a switch. My focus, energy, and mood change 180 degrees.
Changing where I work, not for a different company but going to work in a different place or a different room in the house.
People have often said that a change is as good as a rest.
@andrew_isherwood1 I absolutely agree! When (once in a while) I work at a coworking space or café, I feel like my focus improves by a lot! Thanks for sharing :)
Yoga, climbing and music!
A physical white board. It completely changed how often I kept doing my chosen habits to develop. I just hate seeing an empty space on any day on my handmade calendar on it.
Waking up an hour earlier!

For me it is water. And the habit of arranging my to do things the night before.
Blocking time for focused work (or just for those things I know I will keep putting off)!
Automate data entry in my CRM. So much time saved...
You would not believe it, just a cup of this coffee https://coffeehustle.org/best-lo... and my day takes on a completely different color. The results of the experiment are consistent with what scientists say about the effects of coffee on productivity. Caffeine has been shown to provide short-term cognitive improvement after ingestion. It was found that 200 mg of coffee helped you identify words and phrases faster.

Waking up at 6:30AM. I guess that's small?
It seems that I will not reinvent the America, nevertheless, for me these were:
1. good quality and quantity of sleep.
2. daily exercise.
3. Implementing (somewhat forcefully) work-life balance.
@pawelszafa How do you implement work-life balance?
Honestly, trying to get more sleep
In my view it completely depends on person to person, my rule is to have small breaks and engage in some soothing music with a cup of coffee, it works for me.

For me, it's going full screen - getting rid of tabs and menu bars does wonders for work.

- Some good lo-fi music during my work really helps me stay calm and composed.
- Exercising daily gives a massive boost in energy. Drinking lots of water throughout the day helps too.
- Focus modes on my phone to block all social media from distracting me.
- Watching an episode of some sitcom during my lunchtime to take my mind off work and lighten up my mood.
