These are some methods that actually help me in being more productive:
1. Set one ultimate goal.
You only need one big goal. Just one, seriously. When you set one goal and achieve it, it would be so satisfying and would actually motivate you to finish other small tasks.
If you set too many goals, chances are you might still have lots of unfinished goals when you reach the middle of the day. This might lead you to think that you won't be able to finish them all before the end of the day, so might as well don't bother doing them.
2. Making a to-do list
You may do this before you go to bed the day before, or when you've just woke up in the morning. But I suggest that you to do it the day before.
Writing all the tasks you need to do the next day could actually help you to sleep faster. This is because when you write them all, you wouldn't have to worry about forgetting to do all those things the next day.

3. Wake up earlier
Waking up earlier in the morning would give you extra hours for the day. By waking up earlier, you wouldn't have to rush to work. You can take your time to prepare a proper breakfast, meditate or go for a run. These could help you to relax your mind, a good way to kick start your day.
