3. Microvisualization

In the evening before going to bed, think about your next day, visualize every block of it that you planned earlier. This will help your brain prepare for tomorrow and provide extra motivation to stick to your planned schedule. This approach creates a double anchor for the brain, helping to concentrate better.

4. Use a timer

A timer is an underrated productivity tool. By turning it on while you're on task, you'll help your mind stay focused on the task at hand. This creates a sense of responsibility and helps avoid distractions. This simple step can greatly increase your efficiency.

These four actions seem simple, but doing them regularly can be the key to making your day more productive and feeling like you're running out of time forever.
