Start your day putting a plan for your day put all of your tasks in a to-do list and put the priority of every single task before you start your day. - Learn multiple frameworks and languages and tools:
as a10x developer you cant rely on other developers to do small tasks for you coz you don't know a language or a framework and this will be a waste of time, you should be a person that with some researches can solve any problem at any programming language. - Automate and use Dev-tools:
you can save a huge amount of time automating boring tasks that takes your time every day ,for example writing automated tests can save you a bunch of time searching an doing manual tests to find a bug. - Manage your energy levels:
start doing high priority and energy consuming tasks and leave the easy ones to the end because at the end of the day your energy will be down and if you left hard tasks to the end you will not be able to do them. - Enter the flow state:
flow state is the state that your brain is completely focused on what you are doing so all of your energy is used to do the tasks,
entering the flow state makes you more productive and more focused at what you do not you want to do next.
Conclusion :
