What are some things you do every day to maintain productivity? I drink a lot of coffee and prepare for meetings the day before.

Put your phone away. When I started realizing how many phone "pick ups" I had (you can see it in your screen time if you have an iPhone), I realized that even if I wasn't spending a long time on my phone, I was still getting distracted like 100+ times a day during work.. It's incredibly disruptive to productivity to pick up our phones as much as we do

Decline non-productive meetings from my calendar

Schedule out my calendar the day before

Every morning before work, I always organize my work tasks in order of priority, making sure I am just picking 3 most important tasks for the day. I find that putting a list together helps and I actually get satisfaction from checking off boxes as I complete different tasks versus just relying on myself to remember things.

I also drink a lot of coffee hahaha. But I also make a 6 most important things to do list with the 6 things I have to get done before I leave that day. It helps me to stay organized and prioritize the things I absolutely have to get done before I leave for the day.

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
