If I may, here are my productivity tips:
- find/build a good todo system using GTD (Getting Things Done) methods (capture, organize, review)
- use it to capture all your thoughts and things you have to do. Get it out of your head.
- make weekly and monthly reviews of your work. The things you have accomplished.
- keep a daily log/journal not necessarily of things you have done but make side notes of things that affected you. New articles, a movie that changed your perspective on things, a new idea etc. If it comes back over and over, consider writing more about the subject
- clarify your long term goals vs the short ones. That's the difference between being busy doing client work for money to pay bills and being busy working on projects that will change your life (i.e scratching your own itch)
- track your progress: I track it using three columns. What I have planned for today, what I actually did and what I failed to do. My TODO system automatically assigns a score to that day and reschedules tasks.
In my calendar, I do not have "completed" days, I have scores tracking my performance.
- define what is important to you and develop the habits you want to have: Exercise every day? (20 points), Work for clients (20 points), work on your weekly/monthly personal goal (e.g learn zsh) (50 points). Obviously, the number of points is subjective and based on what you believe is important
I'm sure there is more but that's the basic idea. I see my productivity as a system consistenly looking to be improved and become more efficient
