How can I manage my time better and be more productive?

Prioritise the most important tasks, block your time and reduce distractions.

Better time management starts with knowing what matters most. You cannot do everything, so choose what to do first.

Plan your day the evening before or first thing in the morning.

Prioritise

List your tasks and choose the top three. Do the most important or hardest one first.

Block your time

Schedule focused work sessions in your calendar. Techniques like 25-minute focus periods with short breaks can help.

Reduce distractions

Silence notifications, close unnecessary tabs and batch emails into set times. Review your week to see what worked, and say no to low-value requests.
