Power naps are the best way to rejuvenate yourself as long as you don’t go over 30 minutes. Doing so enters you into a deeper sleep that causes the grogginess people feel after waking up and why they hate naps.

And the final one is in the evening to recharge for tomorrow.

Find your optimal amount of time to work before you need a mini-break. This could be anywhere from a ratio of 2 hours to 1 hour, 25 min to 5 min, or any other combination that is optimal for you. The key is to maintain the pace and not let up.

#4: Use Timers

Time everything you do to ensure your meeting your productivity goals. Once you’re done timing, go back and find out what helped and what heeded you in meeting your goal.
