To me the biggest productivity technique is: remote working.
Commuting is terrible. Wasted time at the start and the end of day.
It doesn't matter if you are in the zone you need to stop working to catch your train or your bus back home.
And the biggest productivity killer is Slack
I don't like distractions (that's another good reason for working from home) and Slack is demanding your attention constantly. I prefer to communicate in asynchronous ways like the email. I can close my email app and answer all emails later on. You can't do that with Slack where everybody expect you to answer immediately.
After graduating with a Law Degree, I decided to stick with my passion for software engineering. Currently focused on learning Javascript. It’s a dream to be able to master it enough to teach it.

Some great points raised Jorge. Totally agree with the Slack! I’ve learnt to switch off distractions now, still a little improvement required though
