Sometimes it feels like life is simply a series of things to do. From tasks to finish to appointments to go to, to things that you have set as goals, there are all sorts of things that can go on your list of things you’d like to accomplish. Sometimes it can feel impossible to get it all done by the end of the day.
However, getting these things done isn’t impossible if you organize your lifestyle the right way. To be more productive, sometimes all it takes is knowing where to get started. Here are some of the best ways to increase your productivity and get more done in your day.
Create a Schedule
Without order, your schedule can be totally frazzled. It’s important to try to write everything into your schedule if you want to get it all done. This means creating a time slot for everything in your schedule, even the mundane things you may not think need to be slotted in.
However, the more you schedule everything from mowing the lawn to taking a shower, the more you will be motivated not to take as long as getting these things done. Knowing that you only have 20 minutes to complete a task encourages you to stay focused and keep working. Even getting something done as many as 5 minutes earlier can start to add up over the course of your day.

Wake Up Earlier
Unfortunately, you can’t add more time to the clock, but you can add how much time on the clock that you use. Waking up even one hour earlier each day to get things done is a great way to stay productive.
Write down all of the things that you would like to accomplish but feel that you “don’t have time.” Then ask yourself whether you think that you could get any of it done early in the morning. You may be surprised to find that using this time in the mornings will greatly boost your productivity.
Put Away Your Phone
Most people admit to their biggest reason for not being productive is being on their phone. Once upon a time, a phone was only for making calls and sending messages; however, now it’s filled with all sorts of capabilities and distractions,makinge it almost impossible to put down for many people.
Sometimes the best way to eliminate this distraction is to put your phone away entirely. Turning it off or putting it in a drawer will ensure that you are much less likely to use it instead of working. Try to be strict with yourself about this, and then you can reward yourself with something.
