My Actual Productivity Routine
Summary
- I sleep until I wake up naturally, without an alarm clock, to ensure I get enough rest.
- I use caffeine and nicotine to kickstart my focus when I start working.
- I wear earplugs to block out distractions and maintain deep focus.
- I prefer working in a room without windows to avoid being distracted by the outside environment.
- I turn off all notifications on my phone to prevent interruptions and stay concentrated on my tasks.
- I wait as long as possible before eating my first meal to stay in a fasted state, which I find helps with my concentration.
- I plan out what I want to accomplish the next day before I go to bed, so I have a clear goal when I start my day.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting your day rested, so try sleeping without an alarm clock. This is easy to do and costs nothing, but make sure you're still getting enough sleep. Start your workday with a clear goal in mind by planning the night before. Write down what you want to accomplish to hit the ground running.
Kickstart your focus with caffeine, like a morning coffee, which can give you a low-cost energy boost. However, use nicotine cautiously, as it can be addictive – consider other ways to energize like a short workout or cold shower.
Block out distractions by wearing earplugs, especially if your workspace is noisy. This will help to keep your mind from wandering. If you're getting distracted by outside, work in a less stimulating environment, ideally a room without windows. This helps to maintain deep focus.
Turn off phone notifications! This one is a game-changer. It doesn't cost a thing, and it prevents constant interruptions. You'd be surprised how much more you get done without your phone buzzing every few minutes.
Lastly, try delaying your first meal if you find it helps your concentration, like fasting until later in the day. But listen to your body and make sure this works for you.
Follow these steps, and you're setting yourself up for focused, productive workdays. Remember, align these strategies with your personal needs and always prioritize your health and wellbeing.
