What I find helps me the most is regimentation of my schedule. I've been most productive when I construct my day so that I always know what I'm supposed to be doing in order, if not a specific time.
For example, my daily schedule is:
- curating Steemit;
- reviewing my finances, paying bills, etc.;
- reviewing upcoming sports bets and record keeping;
- posting on Steemit;
- working out;
You get the idea...
When I have every day set up this way, I find the process to be the catalyst for concentration and execution. Its a groove or a rhythm, I guess...
I am far more productive this way, and I ensure that no one activity hijacks my day at the expense of other things I want, or need, to do...
That's a good technique! I do plan out what I have to do but I'm not so regimented with it. Maybe putting things that have to be done that day in a priority list will help!
