What are Your Favorite Productivity Techniques?

Whether you're a designer in an agency, a full-time freelance designer, or both, you've got to make sure you're being productive. The work is always exciting but can also be extremely draining. Sometimes, especially with creative endeavors, it can be hard to find the motivation to get started on a project or continue with a difficult one.

a few productivity tricks up my sleeve. Some of these being:

• Get up ridiculously early and start working right away on a difficult task… think 6 or 7am.
• Use a productivity timer to focus on one task at a time. The Medialoot team uses Toggl.
• Turn my phone on Do Not Disturb.

Also, in the past few days, the Pomodoro Technique (Natalie's favorite) has been brought to my attention again because of an amazing article on Medium.com regarding real life Pomodoros.
