2. Prioritize Tasks

   – Tip: Use the Eisenhower Matrix to categorize tasks based on urgency and importance. Focus on what truly matters.

3. Create a Daily Schedule

   – Tip: Allocate specific time blocks for different activities. This helps you stay organized and ensures you dedicate time to each task.

4. Use the Pomodoro Technique

   – Tip: Work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. This method boosts focus and prevents burnout.

5. Limit Distractions

   – Tip: Identify what distracts you (like your phone or social media) and minimize those interruptions while you work.

6. Set Boundaries

   – Tip: Communicate your work hours to others. This helps create an environment where you can focus without interruptions.

7. Reflect and Adjust

   – Tip: At the end of each week, review what you accomplished. Adjust your approach for the next week based on what worked and what didn’t.

8. Stay Flexible

   – Tip: Life can be unpredictable. Be willing to adapt your plans while keeping your goals in mind.

9. Celebrate Small Wins

   – Tip: Acknowledge your progress, no matter how small. This boosts motivation and keeps you engaged.

10. Practice Self-Care

   – Tip: Ensure you get enough sleep, exercise, and downtime. A healthy body and mind enhance productivity.

11. Use Technology Wisely

   – Tip: Utilize apps like Trello, Todoist, or Notion to keep your tasks organized and track your progress.

12. Stay Accountable

   – Tip: Share your goals with a friend or join a study group. Accountability can motivate you to stay on track.

13. Limit Multitasking

   – Tip: Focus on one task at a time for better efficiency and quality of work.
