Well defined stand organisational process and having the right to reject additional work stress which weren’t meant for me originally without any consequence.

One, set and follow a schedule to stay productive. Two, create a defined workspace. Three, incorporate intentional breaks into your day to avoid burn out

In terms of productivity, definitely a good task management software. For casual use, Notion is great!

Being able to have a small workspace outside or near a window is the only way I can stay energized. Don't underestimate the power of some fresh air.

Coffee, a space heater (even at home), and some tunes.

A quiet space to concentrate in is helpful or the ability to listen to something (via a headset is fine) when working on project as that can help me concentrate or focus. Remote is helpful too as I can control my work environment in light, temperature, etc if needed.

A solid time management plan, focused self discipline, and making sure to take breaks when needed to walk away from my desk and computer to get fresh air/stretch/refocus

Clarity, quiet, and caffeine — non-negotiables. Add a clean space, natural light, and noise-canceling headphones, and I’m locked in. But the real MVP? A solid DMO (Daily Method of Operation). Purpose + structure = productivity, whether I’m home or in the office.
