​​Productivity aspects.

You can't sit down and decide that today you will only be doing useful things all day. More precisely, it is possible, but it will not lead to anything in 99.9% of cases. The reason is that “productivity” is a complex concept, not just a buzzword.

It includes focus, consistency, discipline, and even distraction control. You need to become a master at each of these points, which is what we'll talk about.

The first is focus. Start the day by asking: What am I going to do today? By answering it, you program yourself to solve problems. Do not reach straight for the phone and flip through the feed, but think about the case. The answer to the question creates a mental attitude according to which your brain begins to prioritize. And the more clearly you answer the question, the better and clearer the further actions.

The second is consistency. This is a principle from the "work smart, not hard" category. And it involves taking full advantage of your circadian rhythm. Your daily tasks should not be a simple schedule, but a schedule that takes into account your peaks in productivity.

The peak performance of the brain occurs within 2-4 hours from the moment of awakening. At this time, you can "eat the toad" and do the most difficult. In the rest of the hours, do simpler tasks, rationally using your potential.

The third is discipline. It takes practice in the ability to postpone pleasure until later. And you can start with the elementary: eat a large piece of cake not in the morning, but in the afternoon. The task: not to succumb to the temptation here and now, but to be able to find reasons not to do this.

Starting training with a cake, after a while, the "discipline muscles" will be able to withstand the onslaught of the desire to watch the series, instead of reading a book. Don't eat after six. Do not drink tea with sugar, etc.

Fourth is distraction control. Anyone can distract you, not just phone notifications. Maybe it's your cat scratching at the door. Maybe schoolchildren with a column under the window. Maybe the nasty sound of a wall clock.

Get rid of them before starting work - put your phone in flight mode. You can close the cat away from you. Close a window. Turn off the wall clock.

Gradually improving in each of the four aspects of productivity, dissonance in actions and desires will be at a minimum. A couple of weeks is enough for someone, a month for someone. However, even a year of effort is not enough for someone. How much you need to take "productivity" to the next level - you have to find out directly to you. And even if it takes a year, it's worth it.
