Figure out your most productive hours and put them to good use

There are different kinds of people, the ones who are most productive in the morning, others who do their best work in the afternoon and finally those who become extremely sharp at night. This time varies per individual which is why we all need to figure this out for ourselves.

During this daily window, described as 'golden hours' by Career coach Susie Moore, the brain is ready to do its most work which is why it should be utilized properly.

In a Facebook Live interview with Business Insider, the author of "What If It Does Work Out?" says, "by understanding and working with your golden hours, you can get much more done because you maximize your brainpower when it's at its highest capacity."

Learn to say 'no.'

This productivity hack is a favourite for many successful people including American business magnate Warren Buffett.

In Moore's words, "Warren Buffett actually said the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people say no - a lot."

She further explains, "By saying no to what doesn't serve you, saying no to that brunch date, saying no to that project you don't need to pick up, saying no to picking up your sister's kids because you really can't do it because you need to focus on something else that's more important to you, then that is what you have to do. Really learning to say no and turn things down opens up magical hours in your week, every single week."
