So you work hard giving it your all all week. At the end of the week or at the weekend you do not even have time for yourself and your family because you still have pending works, have to respond to emails, meeting and other things that totally destroy your social life. Sounds relatable? Right, I've been going through such situation until I took some drastic changes into my schedule of working.
We as a human beings are not wired together to work for hours and hours continuously. We get worn out, get tired, lose emotionally. We need rest and do other recreational activities to regenerate the energy we lose when we work.

But what about the most successful people in the world?

How do they stay sane? Surely, they must face distractions every day. What are the habits that keep them focused? That's the exact question we set out to discover.

• Don't and never overestimate the number of things you can do in a day or in a short period of time. We are not some machines that can complete such work and not get tired. Many factors comes in to play. Also don't get lazy either. Be disciplined into your work schedules.

• Control you calendar. Do not filled all days of the week with work schedules and meetings. You'll get drained out in no time. Fill in some time to get out of the work and go to movies, or spend some quality time with the family. You want to regain all those lost energy.

• Successful people have continuous short breaks through out the day. It keeps the mind stimulated and active.

• Create your own time limits. People also be more productive when they are working under pressure. Make yourself believe you have lesser time than you actually have. Often, you'll find your focus improves when you begin working and ultimately finish on time.

• After completion of certain work, write it down somewhere or in your daily journal. It is rewarding and satisfying to know what you have completed and gained throughout the week.

• Productive people create a To-do list before hand.
  For example :
  7:00 am - 9:00 am Presentation
  11:00am - 1:00 pm meetings
  1:00pm - 2:00pm lunch break and resting

• As you have lot more work you have to be doing. Don't attempt to do them alone. You can delegate them to other people as well. A good manager is one who can delegate the activities well.

• Complete one significant task before lunch. By getting one big thing out of the way early, you can take a reviving lunch break and start the afternoon fresh, without feeling panicked about that huge to-do on your list.

• Use of technology for automation. If there are anything that can automated then do it. For example auto response to emails.

• As a productive person you will always want to keep updated with you skills sets and knowledge. You would want to keep learning everyday and avoid yourself getting outdated.

• Avoid checking email first thing in the morning. It is too easy to get sidetracked by responding to messages.

• Do not schedule more time than you need. Most meetings are scheduled for a full hour, when they should be 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or 45 minutes max.

• Stay away from unnecessary distractions. While you want to keep updated on your social medias as well, you do not want get stuck to it for hours and do not get other things that you should be doing done.
