Written by Kayla Walters. Published: June 16 2025

 

It's never too late to get a new start to your life and shake things up. Regardless of who you are, everyone benefits from having a productive routine and implementing good habits to your rotation. Here’s our list of the best ways to increase your productivity and gain a new groove to your established habits!

 

1. Meal Prep

Blocking off one or two days each week and preparing your meals is the perfect way to get the most out of your week. With this helpful trick, worrying about what to eat for the day is eliminated and decision paralysis is ultimately gone. This is also perfect for introducing wellness to your diet like foods high in protein or eating leafy greens as well.

 
@nourishedbynic ANOTHER FULL WEEK OF MEAL PREP⬇️✨ THE last of our meal prepping series for 2024 and this one is a favourite! As an RD I know how helpful meal prepping can be to make eating healthier easier throughout the week BUT I get bored of eating the same thing everyday (&spending 6 hours prepping food) SO instead of meal prepping i like to do a mix of “ingredient prep” & “meal prep” and this week I kept it SUPER simple with a few staples to get me through a busy week!! MAKE: • 1 x easy breakfast (HIGHER PROTEIN AVOCADO TOAST) • 1 x grab and go balanced snack: (PEANUT BUTTER YOGURT DIP) •1x versatile protein for lunches (CRANBERRY AND PECAN CHICKEN SALAD) • properly store your leafy greens to increase their freshness (add a piece of paper towel and store upside down or store in a colander!) * prep your produce! This week I washed some blueberries with baking soda (1 tsp baking soda/4 cups water) and sliced some apples (soak in 1/2 tsp salt per 1 cup of water for 5 minutes before thoroughly rinsing) Recipes are in my profile! • • • • #easyrecipes#mealprep#mealplan#dietitian#healthylifestyle#sundayreset#fridgerestock#groceryshopping♬ Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee

 

2. Gym Schedules

Regularly going to the gym is incredibly beneficial and perfect for encouraging a routine for anybody. Blocking off a set time each day to manage your fitness goals is key to setting the tone for the rest of your day and helps motivate you to continue any tasks you have. Working out also releases hormones in your brain, known as endorphins, which can help improve your mood through your day and increase your productivity.

3. To-Do Lists/Calendars

This is an incredibly important step to achieving your productivity goals and making sure your tasks are being accomplished each day. Having a to-do list not only keeps you organized for any upcoming engagements you have but also keeps you on track for what your day holds. It’s imperative to have a calendar or to-do list for reaching your goals, and helps your feel a rush of dopamine each time your cross off a task completed.

 

4. Sleep More

Possibly the most unpopular on the list, getting a dedicated 8 hours of sleep each night is king to making your week the most productive possible. Getting more sleep is essential to maintaining your wellness and retaining your focus for the day. Getting more sleep also encourages your brain to be more alert throughout the day, ultimately eliminating your need for caffeine. Sleep wellness is the most important step in maintaining productivity and sets you up for starting each day.
