How to maximize productivity & stay focused

  • Turn ON the Full-Screen mode to cutoff from the noise. Full-Screen mode can be toggled from the settings interface.
  • Use the app drawer feature from FullScreen Sidebar & create your own custom collection of work tools, utilities & resources.
  • Open productivity timer from bottom left tray of the NewTab page.
  • Start a 30-minute timer.
  • Turn on the focus-mode using focus button at the bottom.
  • Update your ToDo list & divide your tasks into smaller goals.
  • Divide your tasks according to the Eisenhower Matrix. Simply stating: divide your tasks on important & urgent basis.
  • First tackle the important + urgent ones. After completion, move to the urgent ones. Then hit for important ones.
  • Example: Hitting the gym is an important task but completing your project maybe urgent if the deadline to submit that is near.
  • Prioritize your ToDo List, schedule your tasks & create a timeline. The timeline gets auto-updated daily.
  • Prefer using Alt+N shortcut to instantly access your notepads & take notes while learning/reading/researching/curating stuff online.
  • When the timer goes off, take a 5-minute break using productivity timer.
  • Do not forget to set the 5-minute break timer, because a 5-minute break may soon turn into a 3-hour break within no time.
  • Make sure that the over-use reminders are ON to prevent any unnecessary time wastage.
  • Rinse & repeat the process daily.
