There is no such thing as a "productivity tip" for humans. Being productive is a very subjective thing. So the first step is to figure out what it means for you to be productive and in what conditions. You should start logging everything you do during the day, with a conclusion remark at the end "I was/was not productive today". Do this for some months, maybe a year, then analyze the data, draw conclusions and adjust your schedule to fix the drawbacks. Then go back to step 1.
You also need to keep a very open mind on what means to be productive. Does your participation in the review meetings, 1:1s, planning sessions help the team(s)/projects move forward? If yes, then you where productive, if not, then not. You need to fully engage in any activity you end up doing, or you won't feel you were productive. Any halfassed thing you do is not going to feel productive (or even be for that matter).
