> For me:
>
> - Use Pomodoro timer. The classic 25-5 cycles.
> - Wear a wireless earbuds for noise cancelling only, but don't listen to music.
> - Have a simple todo list of what you can do today.
> I must always have something on my list before doing any work, lest I would procrastinate.
> - And finally, **stop making excuses and do the dang work.**
>
> Done, no drama.

> Productivity isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing the right things efficiently. Prioritize, time-block, and actually start. Everything else is just noise

> Esta genial, lo que yo recomiendo es crear tus propios sistemas, que te acomodes a ellos.

> Ya que seguir estrictamente lo que es en la lista eso te llega abrumar aun mas, y mas cuando no estas acostumbrado.

> Mi recomendación es probar los de la lista, ver como te a cómodas y crear tu propio sistema basado en tus resultados.
