- Allow yourself to be distracted when you finish your priorities
- Do something on your priority list first before doing something off the list
- Create a productive environment, physically and electronically
- Turn off alert notifications when working
- Establish a ‘Battle Rhythm’
- Make a schedule to do your priority items; consider scheduling more time than you think you need
