Everyone\u2019s been saying that being unproductive during this time is definitely okay since we all deserve a break, right? If you feel as though you really do need a break, by all means continue relaxing! However, personally, I like to wake up early, get a few things done and then enjoy myself the rest of the day. This helps me stay productive and will especially aid me when I have to get back to work once school starts back up again. If you feel the same way, down below are some tips that help me stay productive!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Goals: create, prioritize, and make deadlines for goals.<\/li>\n
  2. Break projects into smaller tasks: this will help you to not feel as overwhelmed by all the huge projects you have to do.<\/li>\n
  3. Write things down.<\/li>\n
  4. Exercise.<\/li>\n
  5. Stay organized: make your bed, do the laundry, clean up your work space. The little things really do make a big impact!<\/li>\n
  6. Get enough sleep: on average healthy adults need at least 7 hours of sleep to perform their best.<\/li>\n
  7. Wake up early: If waking up at 7 AM is too difficult for you, try waking up 15 minutes earlier than you usually wake up every week.<\/li>\n
  8. Minimize distractions: Turn off notifications, hide your phone, do whatever it takes to help you stay concentrated.<\/li>\n
  9. Work during your best time of the day.<\/li>\n
  10. Get dressed for the day: getting dressed instead of wearing PJ\u2019s (even when you\u2019re working at home) can help a ton!<\/li>\n
  11. Use an agenda\/planner.<\/li>\n
  12. Do your hardest tasks first.<\/li>\n
  13. Ask for help: it\u2019s okay to ask for help! Not all of us have the powers to always get everything done.<\/li>\n
  14. Plan your day the night before.<\/li>\n
  15. Avoid multitasking: although multitasking may be helpful at times with small chores, this is definitely a big no-no when trying to complete larger tasks.<\/li>\n
  16. Use a calendar.<\/li>\n
  17. 2-minute rule: If a task takes you less than two minutes to complete, do it right away.<\/li>\n
  18. Reward yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
