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
(me acabo de dar cuenta que hablamos español 😂😂) pero esta buena la idea, yo recientemente comence a utilizar la tecnica de pomodoro para organizar mi tiempo
😂😂 Parece que hay bastante gente que habla en español en la comunidad 😃, justo ayer pregunté esto
BTW: estuve viendo lo que estan haciendo con trex, no tengo mucha idea de deno todavia, pero buena iniciativa !!
For me, it’s all about how I start the day. I try to start my day with any task to get my brain primed for success. Sometimes that happens shortly after I wake up and prior to sitting down for work that day.
I’ve given this advice before. Find a way to get your brain prepared for the day. Sometimes a quick win is what you need to release chemicals in your brain to snowball your success for the day.
Nice! lately I'm having a hard time organizing my time and I just want to know more advices :)
I write on a Post-It the JIRA ticket of the task at hand (if there's no such ticket, then two words tops that summarizes what I have to do that I have been avoiding). Then I paste said note on the lower part of my screen. Inevitably, my eyes will have to see it constantly.
Quite the psychological hack, but I find that if I put the to-do tasks the night before (and shortly before my bed time), I'm more compelled to tick them off the next day. Tasks I put in during the day rarely stay top of mind.
I've been struggling with procrastination for a long time that I decided to write a book about it. I'm sharing part of it here
I like to focus on one task as hand. When I focus on something to learn I "schedule" that into my daily routine so that it becomes one less thing I have to think of. Here's a routine I like to do in the morning which helps me achieve progress and avoid procrastination.
Morning routine:
Having this routine has made it so that my brain doesn't have to decide what to do. All of those decisions are already predetermined.
FWIW, I recently wrote a whole article about this:

Pretty awesome blog!
Thank you!
Keeping my phone away! and if possible having only 1-2 tabs open on my laptop!!
If I am really struggling with working on something, I set a time limit. Like, "work on thing thing for 10/5/2 minutes" then you can do something else.
Usually, that's hardest part and I can keep working past that initial block of time.
