Exercise
Exercising is one of the most effective ways to help you to stay productive. However, this does require a fair amount of motivation, so it’s always nice to have a friend that you exercise regularly with, to help get you out of bed. It’s also important to cook healthy meals while maintaining an active lifestyle, and cooking these meals is another great way to stay productive.

While cleaning your own spaces can be revitalizing, the redundancy of the task can be a bit mundane to deal with. Also, if you have a lot going on, then cleaning all the time can just add to stress.
