Use Tools that are Streamlined and Emphasise Simplicity
One of the most direct ways of enhancing your daily productivity is to ensure that the tools you are using are as streamlined as possible. These tools should also emphasize simplicity rather than being inundated with complex features and mechanisms.
When the tools you use "get out of your way" as much as possible, your workflow will often increase automatically. Additionally, you'll likely find that it's a lot less stressful to get things done, too.
In a computer context, this is one of the big selling points of Apple devices versus competitor devices from Microsoft or those running Linux operating systems.
Of course, you don't have to get into the Apple ecosystem to benefit from this tip. Just keep in mind the basic principle of using tools that get to the point, as opposed to those that want too much input and find tweaking from you.
Don't Overcrowd Your Daily To-do List | Use Motivating Task Trackers
When they aim to be as productive as possible, many people make the mistake of absolutely drowning their to-do lists in a vast array of different tasks.
Unfortunately, this often leads to overwhelm, a lack of clarity about which task to be working on next, and it tends to be highly counter-productive.
To enhance your daily productivity, make a point of not overcrowding your daily to-do list. Instead, add a few items to it that get to the heart of what you want to achieve that day.
An excellent parallel tip is to use a motivating task tracker that utilizes features that make you feel like you want to tick off your various to-dos. Even something as simple as a particular animation or sound effect can often be surprisingly effective as a source of motivation.
Take Steps to Build Momentum as Early in the Day as Possible
A significant part of daily productivity tends to be generating the initial momentum required to get things going.
For many people who feel they are less productive than they would like to be, getting started is the critical issue. Thus, procrastination typically ends up getting in the way of their daily productivity.
If you can build the habit of dealing with a few tasks at the start of each day, it will put you in "productive mode." For example, do the smallest, easiest tasks first. That way, once you've completed them, you will feel more productive and have more motivation to start the larger more daunting tasks. Additionally, it will usually be significantly easier to keep that energy going throughout the rest of the day and maintain a high daily productivity level.
