Top Simple Productivity Hacks 📝💥 Mind maps. Always loved them, always will. Pink background noise to help focus. I search on Spotify for “pink noise”. There is an excellent 10-hour playlist. Noise cancelling earphones: I think the Apple AirPods 3rd generation are worth it if you look after them. Methodical list-making and physically ticking off jobs. Pros and cons lists. I can be prone to decision paralysis if I don’t note my reasoning behind big decisions. It’s never let me down, personally and work-wise, however big or small the predicament. Strict diary management! Your time is precious, so plan and use it intentionally. Designate time for a task and set a countdown timer. If you want to doom scroll for 5 minutes, that’s ok, but put a 5-minute timer on and stick to your word. Conversely, if you want to brainstorm for an exciting new venture, get that timer set for 30 minutes and commit to the whole time until you hear the beep! Phone lockbox. I like the habit of popping it in there and knowing the distraction is out of my hands. #fyp #productivity
