To get more done without burning out, pick 2–3 important tasks each day and focus on them first. Work in short blocks (25–50 minutes) and take brief breaks to reset. Put your phone away, close extra tabs, and do one thing at a time — multitasking usually slows you down.

Plan the night before so you start with a clear plan, and build small routines like a morning checklist or a quick walk after lunch to keep energy up. At the end of the day, spend a few minutes reviewing what worked and what didn’t, then adjust tomorrow’s plan. Be realistic and kind to yourself; steady progress beats perfect effort.
