Going out (ideally nature), taking only paper and notebook – start to write.
– No online distractions (you will look up, and check information later when you get back home).
– Writing by hand strengthens neural paths and also soft motoric skills.
– Today, I did more outside during 2 hours than the whole workweek inside the home office.
What "unusual" hack helps you to be more productive/effective/creative?

I completely agree! For me, the best note-taking method is still using paper and pen. I always jot down my thoughts in a notebook first, then dedicate a day each week to organizing them into applications for sharing. This process has significantly boosted both my creativity and productivity.

Did that yesterday on a plane! Basically just a small notebook and started writing about Videco plan till end of the year. Validation, PMF, Content, Product, goals and OKRs
Dedicate one or two days each week to disconnect from work completely.
Use this time to read a book, watch videos, or spend quality time with my family.
I also noticed that a change of scenery helps me be more productive. For example, I find that morning walks in the fresh air help me get in the mood for the day and generate ideas. All my thoughts come into order and I have a clear plan of action for the day. Sometimes, I bet on sport at https://betbazar.com/ to take my mind off work and recharge. It adds a bit of excitement and fun, which helps me find balance between productivity and relaxation.
Interesting!
I usually do the exact opposite. I write all my stuff inside and on my laptop.
For some reason i am more creative when I write on the laptop than on paper. Probably just a habit.
This is awesome. What are you usually writing? Posts for PH?
I really like the idea of going out in nature to write in a notebook. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Me too NIka! Starting my day with physical activity, out in nature always kicks off my day well & gets my endorphins firing! If I'm ever mentally "stuck," I just go outside, & creativity & ideas always start flowing. Nature doesn't need humanity but humanity needs nature don't you think?
Instead of switching between different tasks throughout the day, I dedicate specific blocks of time to similar tasks. For example, I spend one morning brainstorming ideas, another block writing, and another editing.

Thanks for sharing! Will keep this in mind going forward. Love the idea of being outside in nature
To be more effective and productive, it might be best to focus on a single task or thing at a time and avoid multitasking.
