    Some productivity hacks and strategies to boost output:

    • Take away distractions: Stay focused with a distraction-free workspace, quiet notifications, and website blockers.
    • Take breaks: Short breaks refresh and boost productivity. Work for 25 minutes in focused intervals with a short break using the Pomodoro Technique.
    • Set priorities: The Eisenhower Matrix can help prioritize tasks by urgency and priority.
