You strive to be your best at work, at home, and at everything you do. Most days you’re satisfied with what you’ve accomplished, but there are times when you glance at the clock and realize it’s already 3:00 pm and you haven’t made a dent in your to-do list. If you need help getting things done, there’s no shortage of productivity tools available. There are apps to manage your schedule and share tasks, YouTube videos to demonstrate how to prioritize your time or organize your closet, and life coaches, workshops, and online courses to help you set and achieve goals. These productivity boosters are just one part of the equation.

As you create and execute your plan, be on the lookout for these common pitfalls: Avoiding these common productivity roadblocks will help you stay on track as you work toward your goals.
