The review part should come first for me, since it allows us to pause and take stock. I wrote a similar post, but in a different direction - if you really don't feel like working, have fun. PTB is my daily staple! Great points. The review part should come first for me, since it allows us to pause and take stock.

When I was in school, studying for exams, we were told that you can only concentrate intensely for 25-45 minutes at a time: then you need a break. I think it's good advice!

Then, reorganize, re-pioritize, and get moving. I also like to set myself the goals of 25 minutes at a time, followed by a little breather after that, then plunging in for the next 25. After completing three 25 minute segments, I'll give myself an extra 5 minutes to stretch. It helps me focus better. I really like your first point, which is to stop and take stock.

Create a to-do list for the day and anything new that comes in during the day simply gets added to the next day's to do list, instead of interrupting the work you're doing. I completely agree that if you spend the day jumping from task to task as they come in you'll finish the day feeling like you got very little important work done.

I usually meditate for 5 to 10 minutes if I feel unproductive. Let my mind stop and come back to calm is the best way for me to back to be productive. generally speaking, I will first meditate for 5 minutes, and then begin reviewing my goals and there are always some ideas coming to me on what to do next during the processes. I consider these ideas to be productive things for the new day and will try to work on them in the first place. A very meaningful post.
