Using a prompt again

1. Wake up early

If I sleep in, it sets the mood for the day of being lazy.

2. Plan my days activities the day before

Planning the day in the morning is a time waster.

3. Get right to my most important tasks

4. Do. Not. Go. To. YouTube.

Wait... those videos took 3 hours of my day?!?!

5. Use a timer

intervals like the pomodoro technique have been helpful for me.

6. Make rewards for myself for being productive

7. Set a time for wasting time

Ex. I can do whatever I feel like between noon and 1pm

8. Have an accountability partner

Someone to hold me responsible for my productivity.

9. Put phone on other side of the room while working

notifications, notifications and more notifications...

10. Be compassionate towards myself
