Here's some advice that'll help you be your most productive self:
- Set boundaries between home life and work.
- Know your distractions.
- Make lists for everything.
- Take a lunch break.
- Make sure to move.
- Decompress at the end of the day.

4. Taco Bell is beefing up its breakfast lineup. The fast food chain is now offering three new breakfast burritos.
One is a toasted breakfast burrito with eggs, sausage, and nacho cheese sauce.
The second includes potato bites, pico de gallo, and a choice of either bacon or sausage. The third is the same, except offers hash browns instead of potato bites.
Taco Bell says the new options come after other restaurants upped their breakfast menus.
5. With Easter right around the corner, Russell Stover Candy is offering up a new treat to add to the kids' Easter Basket.
Instead of a traditional chocolate bunny, the company is releasing a sour version. It's white chocolate with three sour flavors: cherry, blue raspberry, and watermelon.
They cost about $2 each for the large bunny, but there are also two other smaller sizes.
These bunnies are now available in stores.
