Hi !,
My technique is keeping a TODO list with things I like to do every day, then eventually this TODO will be a routine and I won't even think of those daily tasks...
Also every morning I create my todo list related to work or things I'd like to do but aren't in my "future routine", the number of tasks you will add to your list should be realistic (don't add 10 tasks because is probably that you will not complete all and you will get frustrated).
Another advice: find the moment of the day when you are more productive and use it, set some time to do you work, and hide all the things that distract you (phone, twitter, even dev.to :o ). For example, my moment is in the morning and I set about 1.5hs or 2hs fully focused, and sometimes I use music to concentrate also.

Same here! I'm all about the to do lists (on paper), it feels great to be able to cross things off as you go.

Oh I see!, Question! do you write your to do list in paper or just digital?

Paper paper !, I really like having the list near me all the time and also love the feeling of marking the thing I have done.
I started to create some digital concept of the technique I mentioned before so maybe in the future my answer will be different 😂, you can see it here
