Daily Actions:
Every day of this month I will work having blocks of 25 minutes focused on working in my project and 5 minutes of break for doing exercise and stretching, then other 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of physical activity and so on for 8 hours a day. Keeping my body active helps me to concentrate better on my tasks. Besides, I will be studying and reading at least 30 minutes a day about new tools that can help me to improve my work in my brand.
My system for working:
At the beginning of the month, I started to use boards in Trello, I divided my work into sections, and I added deadlines for every task. You can check here a video that I created about how to use Trello.
Besides, I use Google Calendars for creating reminders of important work that needs to get done on specific days, and I also love using a whiteboard that I have in front of my desk for writing down the checklist of the day. I do that because it is an essential visual reminder for me; at the end of the day, it feels good to erase what I wrote down knowing that I accomplished what I wrote down in the morning.
