5. Hold Yourself Accountable
Set goals and check in with yourself to make sure you’re staying on track.
Example:
I check my list at 2 PM and ask myself, "Am I on track with my tasks, or do I need to catch up?"
Application:
Create a to-do list and check it throughout the day. Note when you feel tired or distracted, and tweak your schedule as needed. Learn when you’re most productive, and plan tasks for those times.
