4) Set clear priorities
Being busy is not the same as being productive.
1. Make a list of your tasks
2. Star the most important ones
3. When your energy level is high, work on those tasks
Having no priorities is like trying to get to a destination with no map.

5) Batching
Switching between different tasks drains your focus.
Batch similar tasks together to avoid this.
For example:
Batch creative tasks together one day:
• Writing
• Drawing
• Brainstorming
Batch analytical tasks another day:
• Editing
• Coding
• Planning

You’ll naturally focus better and get less distracted.
So, find projects that are purposeful to you.
What you work on is just as important as how you work.
