بعد تناول القهوة، الدردشة مع زملائك في العمل، مراجعة البريد الإلكتروني الخاص بك، بعد كل هذا ستجد the first hour of your workday

 قد تلاشت. Here are a few tips to help you be more productive during this important hour.

.

Eat breakfast before work: 

Don’t wait until you get to the office to have breakfast. Sitting at your computer with food and coffee makes you more likely to browse blogs

and social media instead of jumping into important tasks.

You can’t really work with a spoon in one hand and the other on the keyboard. It feels comfortable, but it’s not as productive as

وجود كلتا يديك على لوحة المفاتيح. 

.

Create the right to-do list:

Most people make to-do lists with easy tasks at the top so they can feel good about checking them off. But this system serves self-esteem

rather than productivity. Instead, organize your list with long-term goals at the top to remind you of what matters most, and daily goals at the bottom to plan how

Daily tasks should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound. Being realistic about the time you have available and how long a task will take

can help ensure you accomplish what you set out to do.

.

ضبط المؤقت:

Keep yourself in your work zone by setting aside large blocks of uninterrupted time. Setting a timer for 50 minutes gives you a long stretch

to make progress toward your work goal before taking a 10-minute break.

If you get the urge to get up or look something up online, the timer tells you that you can keep going for another 20 minutes. Most

mobile phones have built-in stopwatches.

.

Start with the task you’re thinking about the most:

Identify the things that bother you most. Ideally, tackle whatever is weighing on your mind the most—relieving that mental pressure will ease stress

and help you feel more relaxed throughout the day.

.

Turn off notifications:

Stop checking social media constantly, even when a notification doesn’t contain anything interesting. Here’s how to avoid

it: turn off all phone and email notifications, but don’t put your phone on silent. It’s fine to use email and social

media, but do it on your own terms. Don’t let others interrupt your most important hour of the morning.

.

Don’t drink coffee:

Caffeine can be a great tool for keeping your energy up for important tasks, but its effects can wear off. Save a boost for when you need it most

Instead of automatically reaching for your first cup of coffee in the morning, consider delaying it until before you tackle a critical work task. Think about your most important tasks In

on your list and the times when an energy boost would help most.

.

Headphone noise: 

Putting on headphones can help you focus. But don’t choose popular music with catchy sounds and lyrics you love. Instead, listen to

the kinds of sounds you might hear at a spa: birds chirping, rainfall, or white noise.
