33 Ways to Be an Insanely Productive, Happy Balanced Person

Keep texting reserved for friends. It keeps work distractions out and your mind clear.

Walking during phone calls adds a healthy, energizing boost to your day.

A small, focused to-do list is more effective than trying to tackle too much.

Mornings are sacred—avoid emails and social media first thing. Use that time for yourself.

Inbox zero is great, but remember: you don’t have to respond to everything.

Let trivial matters solve themselves by delaying your response. It works wonders.

Know your main goal, and stop wasting time on things that don’t serve it.

Read often. It’s real, productive work.

If stuck, switch mediums—printing something out can give a new perspective.

Cut out people who drain your time and energy. You deserve better.

Focus, simplify, and protect your time. Keep working, stay balanced, and stay happy.
