A big productivity hack is to keep your consumption and creation time separate.

This allows for guilt-free consumption.

Consume to entertain yourself and gather and generate ideas for your creation.

This helps when you are stuck and don’t have many ideas.

Once consumption is done, close everything and start again.

Wonder whether to consume first or to create first?

If you already have many ideas to work on, start with creating.

If you are stuck and don’t have ideas to create, start with active consumption to gather and generate ideas.

Let me know how it goes for you.
