It all starts with being organised about your work tasks. First things first, if you are a night owl, then you must get into the habit of waking up early. According to many studies and researches, you can get more things done and in a better way because focus and concentration skills at that time are inept.
Secondly, be honest to yourself about the tasks you need to get done. Arrange these tasks according to their priority, get done with highest priority tasks first, followed by the lower ones. It doesn't matter if initially, the highest priority tasks scare you due to their importance or massive size. Once you get started, you'll get done with it eventually even if takes a few more hours than you expected, and the relief that would follow will be worth it.
Last but not least, you must record your thoughts and take notes to help you get done with everything. In order to avoid disruptions while working, you can try taking your notes by hand. Use a pen and paper instead of typing on your phone as there can be many disturbances that can sabotage your brainstorming and thought process.
If you don't want to use pen and paper for thoughts and find digital methods more comfortable, you can try a voice recorder as well or you can do it on your phone. You can instead create a list of tasks on pen and paper— it is up to you how to go about with it, whatever works best for you.
