One-thing theory: To stay productive in tough times, use the one-thing theory. It includes focusing on accomplishing just one thing for that day, for example- cleaning your desk.

Make a routine: Making a routine and sticking to it helps you to stay on track and manage your time better.
Take breaks: Working continuously or forcing yourself to complete the work even when you are tired will not do anything. So, take essential breaks to recharge yourself before returning to work.
Celebrate small wins: Recognizing and celebrating your small wins and achievements encourages you, boosts your motivation, and helps you stay on track.
Enjoy the journey: Reaching the goal is important and so is the process and journey to the goals. If you are enjoying your journey while focusing on small things every day, you will reach your destination without knowing it.
