Olivia Gallo English Journalist As we ring in 2024, I’m sure we all formulated goals for this year, but it’s important to stay productive and motivated for these goals. It is difficult to keep track of your goals throughout the year because we tend to get sidetracked with life, sometimes losing sight of what we want to accomplish. There are 10 tips that I try to implement in my day-to-day life to stay on track. Firstly, reflect and set.

Deleting unused apps helps us establish healthy habits. Productivity is closely tied to our habits, and a habit we tend to pick up in the technological era is doom scrolling, where apps such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram encourage users to scroll endlessly, consuming their content. I recommend that you attempt to lower your screen time. Along with this, you should try to get enough sleep, eat well, and build a routine where these habits become second nature to you. An idea that has grown in popularity is digital detoxing. This term entails removing yourself from your device and blocking off time in your day to check emails or social media as this would Continued on PAGE 5
