Believe it or not, many DPMs struggle with productivity. It's not only about having the tools, it also has to do with being disciplined and incorporating productivity hacks into your daily routine.
Here are 4 useful hacks to become more productive:
Stay away from social media. This one is a big one. Since we handle team communications mostly online, our phones have become a very useful device to contact colleagues. The problem arises when you start switching to other apps or tending to your pending notifications every time you set eyes on your screen. Look for ways in which you can limit your access to certain apps from your phone settings. If you can't, make some time for your phone using the next hack.
Try introducing a working method, like Pomodoro. The Pomodoro method is a popular work methodology in which you break your day into periods of deep 25-minute focus followed by 5-minute breaks.
Stay hydrated. Dehydration affects concentration, and you need to focus to be productive.
Prioritize work. Not all tasks are born equal, although it may feel like it. Use a tool like the Eisenhower matrix to focus your efforts on the things that matter.
