Mine, is this one "Picking the right thing to work on is the most important element of productivity and usually almost ignored." from Sam Altman. I take the time each day to prioritize my tasks, meetings, etc.

I reserve time for all tasks in a calendar before doing. Idea -> Kanban_board -> Calendar -> Doing.

@kirill_markin do you mean blocking time slots for each task? Or blocking time for you to make those tasks?
Kirill Markin
@lluis_m_ventura I mean, blocking time in my calendar for any task. Examples: 1) Every day, I am reserving slots in tomorrow´s calendar for my tasks tomorrow. 2) Every week, I am reserving slots in the calendar for next week's tasks. 3) My girlfriend asked to help her with her project — I am booking two hours in my calendar tomorrow for it.

Shameless plug here! I'm creating a morning routine: magicmorning.co It's actually really helpful. We've been testing for about a month, and users say it's helping them get energized / stay focused throughout the day. We're still accepting beta testers if anyone's interested! Thanks, J

I just start up my coffe grinder, computer and time tracker and work as hard as possible.

I try to keep it simple and easy. For example, I start my week and day with only 3 priorities for each. For this week/day I have 3 high priority tasks and will focus my 80% of energy and attention on that only. In the same way, every day starts with me penning down my 3 tasks for the day ahead. It can be anything from administrative tasks to technical. This helps me maintain a balance and not lose track of the priority tasks and enhances my productivity. At the end of the day review the tasks planned versus completion. Also, I reserve a day exclusively for housekeeping/maintenance activities which are mundane and don't need to be pushed on to productive days of the week. There is a very good book which talks in detail about such best practices for regular users like you and me written by Chris Bailey "The Productivity Project: Accomplishing More by Managing Your Time, Attention, and Energy " I would highly recommend for our folks to read this and am pretty sure there will be good takeaways.

25 minutes of work + 5 break. Although can't say this can be sustained throughout the whole day, with the increase of calls/video meetings

for me is waking up early in the morning around 4am so I can make almost of the task by day and in the afternoon will be a extra time for me to work for the another task. That's it. We buy house fast in LA https://www.homesolutionsla.com/

Set aside time to focus, and have a daily deadline.
