8 Steps to Better Productivity

1. Focus on result or the intention of the work. How will the task in hand help? This question is worth thinking about before random going about doing anything that comes your way.
2. Since our very own 'brain' is used to be productive, regular cardio and strength  exercise is important for the brain and in turn to productivity.
3. Surround your self with like minded people. It helps to have like minded people who can uplift and help you to grow, almost like a symbiotic relationship. Helping each other to realise whats best.
4. Keeping alarms for different tasks, is irritating but at the same time serves as a constant irritating reminder that the task has to be done, and serves as a resistance from procrastination.
5. One book that i read recently had some interesting new thoughts, different from a gamut of other books. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to learn a skill or get a project done.Atomic Habits by James Clear. It is also available on audible and is a very quick read.  The main idea that resonated with me was to do what you have planned for, even if it means doing it only for few minutes. Historically, I have procrastinated many things only because I thought that they would be a big ordeal. Earlier I didn't have the ability to break the task in small chunks. A step at a time is really serving me well. This might not be possible in a professional environment with short turn around times. But this approach serves well for hobbies, and other tasks that have been lurking in your back burner for years.
6. No 1 quote that works for me  and gets me rolling  is the one on the image below, whats your quote? 
7.  Its important not to stress, and keep things simple. It helps me to wrap up the day chilling and catching up on some sit com. The fact that I have had fun, helps me in doing my best the following day. 
8. Tracking projects, tracking the goals, and being aware of how much has been achieved, and what more needs to be done is an important aspect of being productive. People use charts, online tools such as Google Calendar, Jira, Promodoro, or perhaps a personal diary. Some might use a combination of ways.
9.  Categorizing tasks  also helps in getting a better picture and plan better. e.g, House, Education, Self, Food, Health etc.
