Aries (March 21–April 19) -

Energetic Aries is great at coming up with ideas and starting exciting new projects. Seeing things through to the end is a little bit trickier, however.

Aries (March 21–April 19) -

To make sure you stay productive, Aries, write yourself a list of tasks at the beginning of each day. It will help focus your mind, and you will feel satisfied when you tick things off.

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

Despite being one of the most confident signs of the zodiac, Leos often rely on validation from others as motivation. This can be difficult to come by at work though.

Leo (July 23–August 22) -

Fear not, Leo! The validation you need can also come from within. Write some validations on a sticky note, or say them to yourself in the mirror each morning.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

For the free-spirited and energetic Sagittarius, the 'Must, Should, Want' method can be effective at making sure they really get things done.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) -

Try sorting your tasks into these three categories, Sagittarius, and then focus first on the 'Musts,' before moving on to any 'Shoulds' or 'Wants.'

Air signs - The air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) can struggle with their focus, too, although more because they're distracted by other people or by learning something new.

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

Just like their Aries friends, Gemini is often quick to get distracted, particularly if someone interesting is demanding their attention.

Gemini (May 21–June 21) -

To make sure you get the important stuff done, Gemini, put your phone on silent, start up a favorite playlist, and keep your head down until the work is done.

Libra (September 23–October 23) -

Libra is all about balance, and people born under this sign often benefit from the Pomodoro technique. This is involves working for 25 minutes, breaking for five to 10 minutes, and then repeating.

Libra (September 23–October 23) -

After around two hours, Libra, take a longer break of 20 to 30 minutes. Use that time to socialize with colleagues or help them on a separate task.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

Aquarians are famous for their creative, out-of-the box thinking, but that doesn't mean they don't benefit from putting their thoughts down on paper.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18) -

To make sure you stay focused throughout the day, Aquarius, take some time each morning to do a brain dump and clear your mind for the day ahead.

Water signs -

The water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) tend to be very productive, unless other people are calling on them for support (or just about anything really).

Cancer (June 22–July 22) -

For considerate Cancer, getting things done is all about setting intentional boundaries. It's very easy for this sign to get wrapped up in helping others.

Cancer (June 22–July 22) -

Don't be afraid to set your status to 'busy,' Cancer, and give yourself space to focus on the task at hand. You can always take some time to help others once you're done.

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

Scorpios can handle a fair amount of pressure, and they get more satisfaction than other signs from finishing a difficult task.

© Shutterstock

Scorpio (October 24–November 21) -

To maximize your daily output, Scorpio, try and get that tricky task out of the way first thing. You'll find it energizes you to get the easier things done later in the day.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

Creative Pisces is often found daydreaming, and you might think this means they find it difficult to be productive. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

© Shutterstock

Pisces (February 19–March 20) -

For this sign, taking some time to let the mind wander is actually conducive to higher productivity. It's when your mind is free, Pisces, that you come up with the best solutions to problems.

Earth signs -

And finally, the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn). For these ambitious signs, productivity is all about striking the right work-life balance.

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

As an earth sign, Taurus is grounded and practical. That doesn't mean this sign doesn't appreciate the finer things in life, however.

© Shutterstock

Taurus (April 20–May 20) -

In fact, for the Taurus people out there, treating yourself to some "me time" after a long day at work is the best way to inspire and revitalize yourself for tomorrow.

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

Virgos are generally very organized and don't tend to struggle with productivity. In fact, this sign probably invented a lot of the common productivity hacks!

Virgo (August 23–September 22) -

One you might not have tried though, Virgo, is planning your work week on Sunday. Taking this time to establish your daily goals will save you valuable time when the week gets underway.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

And last but not least, Capricorn. People born under this sign tend to be very ambitious, and often they work so much that they put themselves at risk of burnout.

© Shutterstock

Capricorn (December 22–January 19) -

To continue being productive, Caps, and indeed to avoid burnout, make sure you are taking regular breaks to let your mind relax and reset.
