Prioritize and Break Tasks: Focus on critical tasks first, break them into smaller, manageable goals, and set realistic deadlines. Take Regular Breaks: Incorporate short breaks and physical activities to recharge and maintain productivity. Stay Organized and Focused: Use tools like to-do lists, avoid multitasking, and stay organized to keep track of tasks. Practice Self-Care: Ensure proper sleep, exercise, hydration, and mental relaxation to maintain balance and prevent burnout.

While taking regular breaks and establishing boundaries are some of the common ways to staying productive, I have often found these are not always enough due to different demanding work situations which may arise. A few favourite addnl. strategies of mine include 1. Ruthless Prioritisation. An important aspect which allows individuals to concentrate based on the criticality. The effective understanding of the different priorities helps break down and make tasks less daunting giving a step wise approach to achieving them. 2. Heavily invest in automation and monitoring. The better the view into what is actually going wrong, the faster we are able to provide a solution thus easing the overall effort which needs to be given every time.

* First Calm yourself. * Be in the moment and do the work without thinking of other tasks. * Prioritise the top 5 works and perform them in sequence while connecting to the infinite power that lies within you.

Staying productive is a balancing act! While mastering time management and organization is essential, physical and mental health are the foundations for sustained productivity. Here's my approach: * Nourish: Don't fall into the trap of stress-induced snacking which leads to sluggishness. Eating healthy (greens, fruits, nuts) helps in staying attentive and providing sustained energy for long coding sessions. * Stay mindful: 10 deep breaths breaks to boost focus. * Move: 5 mins of stretches/ jumping jacks breaks can do wonders. * Work smarter: Eisenhower matrix to prioritize tasks + to-do list to keep track. Document the progress, especially for repeatable tasks, it benefits in a long run. Remember, when you feel good, you code well!

As a burnout victim myself, I'd say let go of the fear and pressure that everything will be done in the given time. - Make a to-do list: This will set some clarity to the chaos in your head - Take the smallest/ easiest possible task, mark it done on the list: This alleviates some pressure and adds confidence - Progressively, start another and get as many as you can (not what has been stipulated) Always remember - YOU are not GOD, There WILL be bugs in PROD!
