What's your favorite productivity hack that you swear by?

My favorite productivity hack is to plan my week in advance and then break it down into daily to-do lists. I find that this helps me stay organized and focused, and it also gives me a sense of accomplishment as I check things off my list throughout the week.

Using the Pomodoro technique keeps me focused and prevents burnout.

Energy-Based Task Sorting = i often categorize tasks by energy requirement and plan before initiate = 10-minute buffers between different types of tasks to allow your brain to properly transition, reducing mental fatigue.

Two monitors. One's vertical for reading/coding, one's horizontal for everything else.

The Pomodoro Technique combined with deep work principles - breaking tasks into focused 25-minute intervals with strict no-interruption rules, followed by short 5-minute breaks to maintain peak cognitive performance and prevent mental fatigue. Ruthlessly prioritizing tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix, which categorizes activities by urgency and importance, ensuring that high-impact, strategic work always takes precedence over reactive, low-value activities.
