She continued, “As we embark on a new year, we are all striving to perform at our best. Therefore, here are 4 tips from someone who once struggled with procrastination (that’s me‍♀️) that have laid the foundation for my productive lifestyle. Save them, give them a try, and share your experiences with me!”

Alaya subsequently shared her insights in a video that quickly gained popularity among fitness enthusiasts. Here are her recommendations:

1. Avoid excessive sleep  

Alaya highlights the significance of a well-regulated sleep routine. She stated, "We are all aware that insufficient sleep is detrimental, and sleep is crucial. However, oversleeping can also lead to feelings of fatigue and sluggishness. Determine your ideal number of hours and adhere to it."

2. Meticulously plan your day  

Alaya underscores the necessity of thorough planning. The influencer remarked, "Outline your day with meticulous detail—regardless of the size of the task. Break larger tasks into smaller, more manageable segments. As you complete each one, check it off your list. This straightforward action releases dopamine, alleviates feelings of being overwhelmed, and provides a visual representation of your progress."

3. The five-minute principle  

Alaya referred to this as her preferred tip, explaining, “If you find it difficult to begin a task, do not worry. Simply commit to working on it for five minutes. If, after those five minutes, you still lack the motivation to continue, set it aside and try again another day. However, more often than not, initiating the task generates enough momentum that you will complete it, as starting is typically the most challenging part.”

4. Envision your productivity positively  

Alaya advised, “Reward yourself upon completing tasks and continually remind yourself of how much you enjoy being productive and organized. Cultivating a positive association with task completion is essential in preventing burnout. Remember, you are not merely working; you are constructing the life you desire. Striking a balance is crucial. Concentrate on progress rather than perfection.”

She concluded with a reflective note, stating, “Productivity is not about accomplishing everything—it's about achieving just enough.”
