7 Steps to Incredible Personal Productivity

1. Let everyone know. Interruptions destroy focus and kill productivity. 
2. Set a target. Don’t plan your project day based on fuzzy parameters like, “I will stay at it as long as possible,” or, “I won’t leave until I no longer feel productive.” 
3. Start unusually early or unusually late. When you step outside your norm, your perspective of time shifts as well. 
4. Delay gratification. 
5. Refuel and recharge before you need to. 
6. Don’t take rest breaks. Take productivity breaks. 
7. Don’t stop until it’s done.
