Being productive doesn't mean being busy all the time — it means doing less of the non-essential things. You have to learn how to eliminate distractions.
How much can you simplify your daily schedule, whether for work, at home, or with a hobby? How many steps can you streamline and automate?
For example, if you're a web designer, can you utilize pre-made templates or themes to quicken the design process? If you write articles or blogs, can you use a text expander to insert standard blocks of text? And lastly, if music production is your thing - make full use of DAW templates.
What tasks can you outsource so that you don't have to worry about them anymore?
Ultimately, what truly matters is not how many hours you've spent working but how much time you have left to focus on the important things.
