Having a clear goal in mind is the first step to success in anything. For this reason, defining your ideal productive day is crucial. Whether you use an online management system or good old-fashioned pen and paper, it's crucial to start each day with a prioritized plan— a list of "things to do", you will then have a clear route for the rest of the day. Additionally, it's crucial to give our thoughts a rest. Take meaningful breaks throughout the day between the tasks you're working on—make lunch, take a stroll, or get in a fast workout. By doing this, you may transition between tasks with a new perspective and prevent burnout.
