Search YouTube or Google, and some business influencers or gurus will inevitably attempt to sell you on their “productivity hacks.” These “experts” like us to think only they have the answers and they can solve any issue with tricks and tips. They would love you to believe that if you follow their advice, you can get more done in less time.

Sure, there are sensible things you can do that take only common sense to figure out like creating to-do lists, alternating periods of activity with brief breaks, and ignoring social media, but looking for some magical way to improve your time management and productivity is futile.

Many of us are trying to juggle our personal life and working from home and it’s made our productivity when doing our work suffer. It’s hard to know when we are supposed to be working when there are so many distractions to make us lose our focus.

Over the years, businesspeople, entrepreneurs, students, teachers, and others have developed a few strategies that, when implemented with the prerequisite common sense, will help you build new habits and become more productive in your work and life.
