I won&#x27;t give you a short term hack because I have tried many and nothing seems to stick. Instead the long term approach that has greatly improved my productivity as a freelancer and also in other areas of life is reading the book &quot;7 Habits of Highly Effective People&quot;. If you read one book in your life I would suggest it should be this one.<p>When your values ( loosely translated as why you do the things you do ) and your goals align you will become very productive. Has helped me a lot. I would suggest give it a shot :)
