I'm going to assume you're a software engineer, so [I recommend this masterclass on writing better code faster](https://link.jointaro.com/v6zEgUfQTxoSj33Z7). In a nutshell, productivity gains as a SWE largely come from leveraging focus blocks and front-loading code planning so you don't face thrash on your code reviews.

For the future, I recommend attaching your level/company to the question or adding more context like what kind of work you do that you feel can be made more efficient.

In a vacuum, the stronger the social fabric of a team, the more motivated its members are. I recommend [this discussion on encouraging more networking amongst the team](https://link.jointaro.com/ybZENfRZ1s9VVNDu7).

Aside from that, motivation is also correlated to quality of execution. If projects are exciting, deadlines are reasonable, and thrash is minimal, the team is generally fairly motivated and happy.
