We always sacrifice sleep to get more work done. It could be productive in the beginning but I wouldn’t recommend it over the long run. Chronic sleep deprivation will cause health complications after continuous sleep loss. The better you sleep, the better your productivity will be. Lack of sleep leads to exhaustion which leads to stress and decrease in concentration and problem-solving ability. Loss of sleep can also make you gain weight which is bad since this is bad fats.

Sleep helps repair neural network in the brain, so the better you sleep – the better prepared you are for tomorrow.
• Schedule
You are well aware of the most productive time or the best time where you are well aware of finishing work faster. Build your schedule around this time. It also helps increase productivity exponentially since you are comfortable working during that period of time and you dictate the terms you work in. This gets most of the work done with the most productive hours of the day which matches your personality.
A strict schedule around the same period of productive time will certainly be a huge boost to your work process. Many people are morning people and are 10 times productive than other time of the day. You can schedule your most important and difficult work during that time to finish it and relax with normal work the rest of the day.
• Distractions

Instead, check your phone when you are moving around while trying to get something. This way, you would reduce the time of checking your phone while you are utilizing the same time to do something else.
Another option is to keep the phone in silent or offline more while working to completely avoid it. You should follow these hacks without fail else the effort will be in vain. Keep the phone as far away as possible while you sleep so that any calls or messages will not disturb your sleep.
• Multitasking?
Multitasking is a curse for entrepreneurs, running around doing 10 things at a time out of which, even 1 wouldn’t be complete. Multitasking is usually bad since the brain has to register the task and store information If you are working on a single task, the brain responds better by storing more information, work faster and save both time and money. One task at a time is faster than trying to complete a dozen tasks.
