4 Quick Productivity Tips For Medium Writers
I’m a productivity junkie. Not because I love it, but because I need every minute of every day to keep up with my schedule and still enjoy some family time during the day.
Here are a few productivity tips that have changed my Medium workflow extensively.
#1 Turn off notifications on secondary devices
What I mean is this: I always work on my MacBook. Yet, I do have my phone right next to it all the time.
Normally, I would get every notification on both devices. That’s unnecessary and disruptive. I’d leave notifications active on my phone and disable most of them on my laptop.
That leads to tip number 2.
#2 Use focus modes and ignore life
This can also be flight mode or a similar setting to stop distractions. After I switched off notifications on my laptop, I set a focus mode (relatively new in iOS and macOS) that only allows certain notifications to get through while I’m working.
That has helped a lot with staying focused. Other operating systems offer similar settings.
