Share a quirky or unique habit you have that helps you stay productive at work.
A quirky habit that keeps me productive is having a stash of snacks in my drawer, ensuring I have the energy to tackle tasks efficiently. Additionally, I make it a point to walk to work, which not only energises me but also sets a positive tone for the day.
