Top 5 Productivity Tips

Productivity is defined as the state or quality of producing something. Productivity for me is having intention throughout the day. Now I might have the intention to take an easy day and watch Netflix all day after a long week, and that is completely okay! Some people think productivity is getting things done every single day, not taking breaks, or being busy busy busy. I am here to tell you no that is not productivity. Here are my top five ways of helping me have the most productive week. 

1. Have a routine set in place for each day. Mix it up a bit each day so you don’t get bored. Set time blocks. Such as a 2-hour window to focus on work or homework, an hour to do something creative, and forty-five minutes for self-care. The possibilities are endless. 

2. Spread out to-do list items throughout the week. This will prevent burnout and last-minute stress.  

3. Plan self-care and days off each week. Planing this each week will help burnout and procrastination. 

4. It is okay to change the to-do list day of. Your mood is going to be different every day. Just make sure that you schedule those items for the next day to prevent last-minute stress. The book Atomic Habits taught me that if you miss two or more days in a row your routine has changed potentially for the bad. We don’t want bad habits taking over.

5. Have fun! The most important part is having fun each and every day!
