Going hiking definitely clears my head and makes me a more productive writer when I get back to the computer.

What about the scents of the mountain trails??

I actually have my to-do list on a Word document. I delete items when they’re done, and I move to the next day when I have to.

My to-do list is one that I put on Outlook Calendar. I add to it, move it forward to the next day every afternoon, and I use it at the end of the month to remind me who owes me for what.

I use #5 and #7 regularly.

This is a great infographic. However, I may disagree with number 17. I find myself looking at instagram pictures of Huskies and Nature all the time, while I could be doing a lot of work during that time. Maybe that works for someone who isn’t a big fan of nature, but loves to get inspired. While for me, I’m in love with those pictures. And if there is a video of a Husky playing around, I’m watching it a couple of times, maybe five times. So, again, that’s my weakness and it won’t help my productivity at all.

Thanks again for sharing these tips. Loved checking them all!

Kunle, you’re right: other social media sites can also waste a lot of time. For example, a couple of years ago I decided to spend much less time on Twitter.

I think almost all of these suggestions are excellent, but there’s a couple I disagree with (thermostat at 70-77 degrees), or just don’t know about (like Unrollme).

You made mention of quitting Facebook as one of your top 3 productivity tips. I will suggest you add ‘Whatsapp and snapchat’ to it. More than 85% of the young population focusses much more on the use of this social media tools.

I had to disciplined myself when I discovered that I use to spend much more time chatting on whatsapp. Though it is not easy, but it gave me a lot of breathing space and ability to concentrate.

Thanks for sharing

The one I disagree with is Unrollme. I used to use it but then I discovered how much of your information they’re selling so I cancelled my account and just dealt with the newsletters which was far better than having them all in one giant email that I ignored anyway.

I’m also mentally quite shot in the evening. I make my to-do list for the next day at the end of my work day.
