Productivity expert Liz Hardwick recommends planning your day before checking emails to maintain focus and priority.

Productivity expert Liz Hardwick, a professional speaker, trainer and coach specialising in digital productivity, recommends practical strategies to manage three key resources: time, energy and focus.

Her primary tip is to spend 10 to 15 minutes each morning creating an optimal day plan before opening emails or messages. This prevents the day from being sidetracked by other people's priorities. She suggests using simple tools to list and draw out your ideas and plans, enabling you to identify and highlight your top priorities for the day.

Hardwick emphasises moving away from being 'busy' towards being 'productive'. She advises clients to use a simple tech-based structure with a set of apps to keep everything organised and easily accessible, reducing decision fatigue. The framework has three key elements: calendar for managing appointments and your time, notes for storing reference information and ideas, and a system to keep tasks and information organised.
