How to become Productive

Question

Everybody has their own tricks to become more productive and self-motivative. It gets really difficult if you do not have a boss.

One thing I found makes a big difference is, writing down your daily tasks list. Break it down into smaller chunks like hourly or couple of hrs modules. Check them off when you are done. Windows 7 comes with Sticky Notes application. I also use Gmail Task List. If you do not write your daily notes, give it a try.

Tea also helps me. Sometimes I do not feel like working but once I make my tea, have in my hand and sitting on laptop switches me to the working mode.

Please share your ideas or tricks of productivity.
