I used to be a lazy guy earlier, but I changed my living style as following which greatly helped me to be productive at work.

1. Walk to office from home both coming and going back.

2. Eat healthy food, and green tea only (stopped soft drinks, and even coffee)

3. Take periodic breaks from work for a brief walk or a social chat with other colleagues.

4. Work-outs - After work,30 minutes on tredmill daily from6.30 pm to7 pm

5. Have a walk in the park for30 minutes after dinner with wife and son.

I am strictly following these activities since past10 months, as a result I feel active both physically and mentally..

I can't leave the following activities to keep on fit mind:

1. Wake up early, max4.30 am, it starts day nicely from peace of early.

2. Sports,4 times atleast on a week. I can choose between jogging, aero and gym, or swimming.

3. Reading (mostly from net because I can browse even from mobile) is easiest way to fill spare time or while waiting.

4. Coffee time.

5. Health diet (trying to choose health food for daily)

6. Hanging out but it is occationally.

1. I daily get up at7 am..I am so lazy so get up early daily is the biggest challange for me. I, want to   offer my fajr prayer and want to do some exercise but i daily missed that.some times I am getting late and missed my yummy breakfast made by my mother so I want to manage all these to remain healthy..

2. I want to watch cartoons or animated movies to fresh my mind daily at night but can't do that because I can't manage my time if I do so then every one makes fun and said me "at this age you are watching cartoons or disney princess's movies?"...

3.my Colleagues and my friends want to spend time with me....Most of the time they are forcing me to have lunch,picnics,parties and meetings with me but I refuse them So I, want to change my this habbit..

4.I want to spend much time with my parents and grand mother but also can't do that..my grand mother is my best friend  when I have some problem I share it with my grand mother and she always gives me useful advice..but some time I am out of city and I am not able to share my problems with her it decrease my productivity and I also lost my concentration.

Sir its a long story so I can not exlain all.

To avoid misunderstanding, this question actually refers to the habits done OUTSIDE working hours to improve productivity or DURING work hours to TACKLE routine. "Daily routine" herein refers to "Day structure".

 

For example, I used to do these activities interchangeably and at different times, as much as possible to free my mind.

  1. Wake up early in the morning preferably at05:30 to catch early beams of sunrise. Sometimes I would skip it entirely.
  2. Exercise simply. Have my standard cup of tea, or skip it with fresh juice. (not a coffee fan)
  3. Take lunch with me, go out with colleagues to a near buy cafeteria or walk to a supermarket together to buy it & have it at office.
  4. Devote a whole30 minutes or an hour to just reading or watching informative movies online.
  5. Go to the gym3-4 days a week (once a week during office break). Or play football.
  6. Read in a public place away from home with music via headphones.
  7. Cleaning office collectively while putting up rhythmic music on.
  8. Do design or creative work every now and then. Stay up late every now and then doing creative work only.
  9. Going out to movies, theatre or city centre during the week & not only weekends.
  10. Work during Saturday's, then boycotting work entirely in the weekends.
