There are limits to your personal productivity. You may have health issues. You have unique demands on your time. 

The best way to be productive is to work around these issues. Find out what works for you.

When you’re tackling your to-do list, you’re probably trying to do more than one task at once. 

Recent research has shown how multitasking does not help you get more done. 

Doing the smaller tasks on your list first is often related to putting off the tasks you don’t want to do. 

Instead, tackle the hard task first. Get it done and out of the way. Then you’ll feel much more able to tackle the rest of your to-do list.

Everyone has a time of day when they’re most productive.

Find your most productive hours of the day, and make the most of them. Once you have, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve.

Being productive doesn’t mean that you need to get everything done yourself. 

Go through all of your daily tasks, and see what you can delegate to others. Maybe you need to hire a virtual assistant.
