How To Increase Your Morning Productivity By 50%
Is there a better way to free some space up in the morning than preparing for them in advance? Dedicating a bit of your time towards listing the tasks you need to accomplish in your mornings can help you save time and spare you the anxiety that comes from continuously being in a hurry and, ultimately allow yourself to live a more satisfactory life.
While planning ahead in general is already a huge productivity booster, I’ve also listed some of the other things that have helped me become more productive in general. I recommend applying as many of them as possible, since they complement each other very well.

Planning Your Day The Night Before
Try to visualize possible inconvenient scenarios for you (or your team) and shuffle through possible solutions that can ease the workflow. Visualize exactly how these solutions can help your department accomplish its goals: it’ll reinforce the fact that you’re in control and if a difficult situation presents itself, you’ll react quickly to it.
Remember, bosses love employees that are able to think on their feet and bring solutions to the table, so don’t just say “I want to finish the reports before lunch”, you should always detail the way your tasks and goals are to be completed.
Here’s another way to plan ahead: many of us require tools to do our jobs, it could be anything from a toolbox to a laptop, backpack or briefcase. It’s easy to forget our work tools and/or sensible documents in the morning rush, which is why you should always pack everything you need for the next day in advance. This will help you save time in the morning and avoid embarrassing situations at work.

Avoiding Late Dinners
Don’t stay late and eat excessively, this really puts a hurt on your body since it uses your valuable night recovery time in digesting food which just spends your body’s energy in advance of your upcoming morning, thus screwing up the whole purpose of your morning readiness time, which by the way, is there to function as your personal “battery” for the day.
Don’t stay late and eat excessively. Doing so really puts a hurt on your body, because instead of sleeping and recovering your energies for the next day, your body will redirect energy towards food digestion. Next morning, not only will you have missed out on important recovery time, you’ll also notice you’re slower and groggy than usual and it’s because you had to use your energy reserves towards digestion. It’s a lose-lose situation, so no late night binging!

Handling Your Email The Right Way
Most of us feel overwhelmed by emails, especially if it’s page after page of important emails. Although it's a great communication tool, people often overuse it. That’s why when you manage it effectively, you can turn that anxiety into complete satisfaction.
Organize Your Inbox
A simple filing system can make wonders when managing your mail. You can use different categories that signal different level of priorities. Adapt it to whatever you need, if using no more than 3 categories proves to be too simplistic, go ahead and set up a more detailed system. For instance, you could create a folder for every project that you're working on, or have a set folder for each of your clients.
Pro tip: The advantage when you create specific folders for processing email is that it makes it easier to search for past mail

Routing Your Non-essential Email
If you regularly receive email such as newsletters, blogs and article feeds, you could re-route them to another email address, or use rules, so that they're instantly delivered to a particular folder. Consequently this will keep your primary inbox clear and ready to read at a convenient time.
Commuting Conveniently: Electric scooters
More importantly, if you use alternative means of transportation such as electrical vehicles such the trendy electric scooters, its best to recharge their batteries and check their conditions (tires, handles, etc.) to avoid any transport issues that can happen on the road as a result of poor maintenance check. Additionally you can scratch of not only the money you spend monthly by going to the gas station, but also the time it consumes taking it into account for your daily routes.
Thankfully all electric scooters are easy as pie to ready them, which means you won’t be spending lots of time doing this the night before you ride for work.
