Lots of good advice here, especially the early morning stuff.

(It's 4am here in Sydney and I've been up for about an hour!)

My #1 productivity tip is to find the passion in what you're doing.

Whether it's tapping into your big WHY (money, providing for your family, freedom, pleasure/pain etc), loving serving your customers, the sheer enjoyment of the process or whatever... when you have passion driving you forward I've found you don't need any other productivity hacks.
