obviously ymmv but what i do is set reminders immediately every time i have a new task that has to be done and also have a fairly consistent routine i keep myself to: sleep at least 7 hours, walk dog, drink coffee / eat breakfast, go for a run, shower, make a list of the work that has to be done for the day (no commute because i’m remote), and then chug another shot or two of coffee and blast through it while i’m caffeinated and amped up with endorphins. the run + coffee really gives me the focus i need.
i also just try to be patient with myself. if i’m having a slow day and not cranking out as much work, i don’t self-flagellate the way i used to when i was younger, i shrug it off and maybe go for a walk and try again tomorrow.
