What works for me:
1. Take a shower & brush teeth twice a day. Have all clothes in a clear area that I can take with my eyes closed. All the hygiene stuff should be automatic.
2. Two lists - to do & schedule. I like weekly scheduling. I list everything I plan to do in the week and then drop them by day. Because I tend to put things off until 4 PM and then have a burst of energy to finish them. Some do better scheduling every hour of the day. To do is just a stack you dump into and pull from. Don't fill it out too long.
3. Finish stuff. 95% done stuff lingers on the mind and drains energy, when you should just push it to 100%.
4. Clean up everything for 15 min at the end of the day. Also clears the mind. No more than 15 min. Dump email, slack, etc into your To Do or Schedule. If I don't have time to clean up, it's an alarm bell saying I lost control.
5. Batch non-maker time and be present. We found out we were losing 2 days per week to interruptions and stuff, and these meetings and interruptions weren't useful because nobody paid attention. So we batched Monday and Wednesday as meeting days. Find the right tempo for your workflow - you might need 3 days, you might need a few hours. If you work hybrid, then office days are your non-maker times.
What I'd like to do: Build workouts into (1) as well.
