To be truly productive<\/strong> and avoid everyday distractions<\/a> it is essential to detect what is important in your life (professional and personal) . Eliminate from your life anything that is superfluous, that does not bring you anything positive and that does not contribute to your goals.<\/p>\n

And say \u201cno\u201d a lot! Don\u2019t start working on projects that you cannot finish, don\u2019t try to take on more than you can, avoid taking part in activities that are not important. Be realistic about the time that it takes to do things, don\u2019t overestimate your time and don\u2019t ask yourself to do more than you can. We cannot do everything!<\/strong><\/p>\n
