Ways to improve productivity:

Having a routine: Knowing how the day will turn out and having it planned, hour by hour helps in improving productivity and planning the time for being more creative.

Breaks: productive people understand the need of having a proper work and life balance and they believe in not burning themselves out with more work. They go for frequent breaks and vacations and come back with a fresh mind to work.

Procrastination: Unproductive people believe in pushing deadlines of tasks that they consider are difficult. This further makes them more unproductive. Productive people, on the other hand, go headfirst into difficult tasks and find innovative solutions.
