    Personally, I like to organize my schedule by using time-blocking. It helps to keep my life structured: I can work hard AND have fun without stress! While I study, I like to use the pomodoro method. Basically, you divide your time into chunks of study/break time. It keeps me motivated and I find that I get a lot more work done than I would've otherwise.

    What do you guys do to be more productive?

    For me that love studying, I don't need breaks. In fact, breaks will only distract me. To be more productive at studying, I just make sure that I eat and sleep well.

    To be productive, you just have to get yourself reasonable occupied. You know doing what you love mostly. I usually get myself productive, learning new things. Being studious!

    Multitasking can make you less productive. Studies have shown that doing multiple things at the same time makes you less productive. When your brain can stop jumping from idea to idea, you become more focused, clearer, and more determined.

    I recently started my senior year online though however I try my best to stay motivated by setting up reminders for when things are do.I recommend maybe like a calendar app.Other apps I use are photo math, google classroom, remind,google drive, powerschool, and google meets

    One of the expressions I've used many times in my life is, "Eat the frog first." In other words, get the things you aren't really wanting to do out of the way first. Once that happens, then everything else may seem as though it is much more possible. Frankly, some days may feel as though there are 5 "frogs" to eat and only a couple things you actually want to do. But won't it seem like such an easier task if you get those 5 out of the way first, and then onto the 3 easier things next?

    One has to stay focused in other to be productive. Try to avoid unnecessary distractions when doing something serious, so that you can get the desired result.

    To start off, getting good and consistent sleep is crucial. It will clear your head and assist you in staying more focused - which is key to getting anything done. A workspace doesn't exactly have to be super neat and organized - you just need a lot of room and have to know where things are (at least for me). I also keep some snacks around and a bottle of water next to me so I don't have to get up and get them, which can be distracting. Plus, if you're not using your phone for work, keep it across the room so you don't get distracted with it either.

    This is really interesting, because I love studying too, I'm currently doing a distance learning course about gardening. However, I find I have to take regular breaks so I'm able to take in and digest the information that I've read more easily. I do the actual work in little short bursts as well. Someone else mentioned the Pomodoro method and since I've been doing this and setting a timer to ensure I keep focused while still getting regular breaks, I've been so much more productive!

    For me, I just like to plan my day. I write a to do list and make sure I assign a certain time for each activity. It helps me be more productive and I feel more fulfilled at the end of the day knowing I did all I set out to do. I use alarms on my phone to remind me when to change activity and it has been so helpful for me. I also try to limit distractions by doing things like turning off my phone, occasionally taking walks, and making sure my space is organized and I have all I need. I also try to have water near me so I don't get too dehydrated and lose focus.

    These days, I'm acing 12- to 13-hour workdays and getting the most done without burning out. Here are a few of the things I'm interested in:

    I get up quite early in the morning to work. Usually at 4–4:30 a.m.
    As a result, by the time others get up, I've already accomplished a lot.
    Because I have a biphasic sleep schedule (3.5 hours at night, 2.5 hours during the day), I am able to gain more productive hours every day.
    When I'm out of ideas, I take 15–20 minute pauses to watch one of the several shows I'm currently watching, depending on the genre I'm writing about.
    Even when I'm at the barbershop or out shopping, I don't waste time.
