Want to increase your productivity?
Six months ago, I didn't have a routine. I was scrambling every morning, trying to get my breakfast and lunch ready prior to work, getting to work late, and playing catch up for the rest of the day.
After developing a routine, I'm able to prepare for tomorrow, and set myself up for a great day free from the anxiety of being constantly behind.

Today I'm chatting with you about my crazy AC issues and how instead of fighting it, I adjusted my plans and ended up learning something from it. My expectations of how the evening were going to go did not match up with reality, and as writers, that can happen all the time.
Learning to lower your emotional investment in expectations can keep you from getting down when your writing doesn't go as you imagined it would.
Happy writing!
