Willpower is simply not enough. Habits and discipline are the key to productivity:

1. Get Started! Starting is the key obstacle towards productivity. Once you start a project, your brain rewires helping you complete it

2. Instead of working in a diluted fashion through the day, multitasking, have periods of intense, focused work (i.e. 90mins) followed by recreational breaks (15-20mins)

3. Create deadlines, set actionable goals for the next day and keep a daily accountability chart
