earing about ways to save time? At Next Gen HQ, we have four favorite produ=
ctivity tips. They may be all you need!
Let's dive in!

r a task appears to become. So, it=E2=80=99s important to never dwell on a =
task. If you=E2=80=99re unmotivated, just get started and watch your energy=
 change. You=E2=80=99ll likely feel better in minutes.
