I have been Reading and watching several videos and comments where people talk about writing and planning themselves. I believe productivity is a discipline to personal choice. I have been encouraged and advised several times to plan myself and my future to be productive by writing down my to-do list and making plans for myself on what I really want and not getting distracted by anything, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way for me. I make plans and arrangements on what I really desire to have but most times I try to write it down it then becomes a 50% chance for me except if I have a high interest in that particular task.

My Greatest and most effective productivity hack is focusing and getting every possible solution to what I need on YouTube. YouTube has been a good direction for me, although I get distracted by it once i make up my mind to learn something on YouTube I don’t get distracted. Based on my YouTube Journey I have been able to learn various creativity and how to be productive in the society. So far, i have been able to learn Ui/ux design which happens to be my first skills ever learnt, though i might not be an excellent designer but with my basic knowledge on the design if i could discipline myself very well then i can become a professional.

YouTube has also introduced me to AR/Vr Africa Free training sponsorship, my dedication and discipline to learning on YouTube have introduced me to like-minded people like me. We come together make some corrections and adjustments on what we learn, those of us in nigeria meet eachother and discuss every necessary things that need to me shared and give any necessary corrections to it. I am still a beginner so i try to put in my best and ask seniors when i need help or assistance. Ame I have been able to connect with sponsors on WhatsApp that encourage scholarship programs.

My consistency on YouTube has also made me understand how to Trade safely and learning different categories of the crypto space. My first time on hive, i was a beginner of crypto, i had no investment on crypto except the game i played on blingpoint sponsored by Coinbase, where i earn free bitcoin, except for this option i know nothing about crypto and trading or even how to convert to Usdt but watching videos on YouTube has made me adjust and opened my knowledge to so many things.

My simple steps to my Focus on productivity is that;
Avoid Multitasking; when i am attempting to learn any new idea or skills, i try avoid multitasking to engage in full focus, as it can serve as distractions to my learning. Multitasking might make you feel you are productive but unfortunately it will affect Us, because every skills have a future experience or new creative dimension to learn and advance in, and we might lose focus or be lost in it if we engage in multitasking.
Having a simple clear goal in mind for that day or that week; One major productivity hacks i know for sure is that, before i stand from my bed, i try to reflect on several things which i should give full concentration on because i get easily distracted from things around, then i stand to make arrangements and plans to have those things. This has really helped me to give full concentration to so many things that i have intrested in, it’s not possible to learning everything all at once, everything comes with a gradual process.
Reflecting and Meditations every morning; This has made me and redirected me into the right path on making necessary adjustments to my decision and myself on everything around me. I do this almost every morning at least 20mins of my time, just to reflect and meditate on things around me.
Eating Good Meals; I believe the fact that good food helps to be productive and good Minded. Not eating healthy diet and nutrients will result to poor productivity. I make sure i eat healthy food at my Pace even though it might seems expensive, my health and good Mind is very much important.
Avoiding Distractions; struggling to align one’s self with another person’s perspective and feelings can affect us. We need to learn to avoid distractions and focus on ourselfs. I make sure everything and everyone that may make me lose focus in what I really want, i try to avoid them by all means. Not avoiding them completely but avoiding them from my full concentration and it their decisions or prevalence might affect my thoughts and make me lose focus i cut them off or that thing off completely.
