    Great ideas, all of them. My best ones are – putting my most important tasks on paper so that it’s visually there, and planning realistically. When I used to plan too many things in my day, I’d get overwhelmed and not as productive.

    Limiting my time in social media to 5 mins every hour as a mental break helps too.
