Hey there, productivity seekers. This is Hazel, and welcome to another episode of Hack Your Workflow.

Let's talk about something real for a moment. I know today might feel like you're swimming through molasses trying to get anything done. Maybe your to-do list feels more like a mountain than a roadmap, and every task seems to be screaming for your attention simultaneously.

I want you to take a deep breath. Right now.

Today, I'm going to introduce you to what I call the Momentum Method a game-changing approach to transforming how you tackle your daily work.

Imagine your productivity like a series of dominos. The key isn't pushing them all at once, but creating a strategic first push that cascades into remarkable progress. Here's how it works.

Every morning, identify your single most important task what I call your Anchor Task. This isn't just any task. This is the one thing that, if completed, would make your entire day feel successful. Maybe it's a critical work project, a challenging report, or a creative breakthrough you've been avoiding.

Now here's the magic. Tackle this task first thing in the morning, before email, before meetings, before anything else competes for your mental bandwidth. Give yourself a strict 90-minute uninterrupted window. No notifications. No distractions.

Pro tip: Use what productivity experts call a "time block." Set a timer. Create a sensory environment that supports focus maybe soft background music, a specific workspace, or noise-canceling headphones.

But Hazel you might be thinking what about all my other tasks? Great question. After completing your Anchor Task, you'll find something remarkable happens. Your brain releases dopamine. You feel accomplished. Suddenly, other tasks feel more manageable.

Three additional quick hacks to supercharge this method:

First, prepare the night before. Spend 10 minutes mapping out your Anchor Task. Clarity creates momentum.

Second, eliminate decision fatigue. Wear the same work outfit. Eat a consistent breakfast. Reduce tiny decisions that drain your mental energy.

Third, celebrate your win. After completing your Anchor Task, give yourself genuine recognition. A moment of personal acknowledgment reinforces positive productivity patterns.

As we wrap up today, I want you to take this practice and make it your own. Your workflow isn't about perfection it's about intentional progress.

Your challenge for today: Identify your Anchor Task. Protect that 90-minute window. Watch how your entire day transforms.

This is Hazel, reminding you that productivity isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters, with focus and intention.

Until next time, hack your workflow.
