Start with an easy task. Checking something off your list can get you going.

Take a break. Do some stretches, make coffee, walk around a bit and get back to work.

Set goals for the day and make a schedule. Define specific break times in advance and stick to your schedule.

You should make a to-do list.

You need to evaluate the importance and urgency of your tasks and organize them accordingly.

Delete all the tasks that are more than a month old. If you haven’t dealt with them yet, they’re probably not a priority.

Declutter your work space. A well organized work space can help you focus and eliminate distractions.

Place your phone in a different room and put it on silent mode. Log out of your social media accounts on your laptop. Surround yourself with work related materials.

Find a quiet environment and go work there.

Switch to a different task and get back to it later.

Start working earlier. Studies suggest productivity levels are highest in the morning (around 8:00 A.M) and start decreasing at late noon.

Big heavy meals make you tired fast. Divide your meals to smaller portions and spread them evenly throughout the day.

You should have breakfast and a cup of coffee if you haven't had one yet. A healthy breakfast is important to boost energy levels and productivity.
