What’s your underrated method to improve wfh productivity?

I have ADHD so my brain usually juggles to many things, even thinking about where to start feels exhausting. I love WFH, but on the flip side, it makes it way too easier to drift off. And I knew if that continued, my career wasn’t headed anywhere good.

So I learned and tried a bunch of methods. Some are helpful, some are bs. Here’s the 3 that works for me:

• Separate work & personal spaces: I bring my whole desk setup outside of my bedroom. That’s it. Simple but super effective. I no longer have the “ah let me just lying for 5 mins” turning into 1 hour.
• Release my thoughts: Your brain is for generating ideas, not storing them. Whenever something pops into my head (tasks, ideas, random thoughts), I dump it immediately into a trusted system. This clears up my mental clutter
• Pick one thing: Once my mind is clear, I pick ONE task and stick with it. This prevents me from half-starting five different things and never actually finishing any.

I also use some tools to help me apply these methods easier:

• For desk, I use the adjustable standing desk so I can change positions whenever I want to change positions
• For brain dump, I used a simple note book when I’m offline, Apple note for quick voice memos. Then for work, an ai tool that turns my braindump into scheduled tasks. The only one I’ve found that can do this is Saner.
• For focus, I use a combination of Opal (a blocking app), and classical music

None of these tips made me perfectly productive, but they made working from home less chaotic 🙂

If you have any effective method that help you stay highly productive at home, I’d love to hear it
