Being able to focus and concentrate well is very important. We all know that this works best when our head is clear and we are focused.
With these tips you can maintain your focus and stay on top of distractions.
Your environment
To maintain your focus for a long time, it is wise to occasionally focus your attention on something else entirely. Relax completely between your activities. An easy way to do this is to focus on your breathing.
Distraction plays a big role in losing focus. Noise is one of the biggest distractions. A quick fix for this problem is a pair of headphones with monotonous sound or music that is unfamiliar to you (so you don't start singing along :)).
Another form of distraction is clothing. If you do not wear comfortable clothing, you will quickly become irritated and lose your focus. Make sure you wear comfortable clothing, such as ankle socks that do not slide down and a T-shirt that does not itch.
Multitasking?
We often think that multitasking is efficient work. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Various studies have shown that it does not improve our productivity but that it actually worsens it. Multitasking is actually just quickly switching between different tasks. You yourself do not notice this switching but it quickly comes at the expense of your productivity.
So, what do you need to do? Make a to-do list for each day for what you want to accomplish that day. Then, arrange the tasks by time and priority. For complicated tasks, it is best to choose to divide these into smaller steps as well.
By making a to-do list, you make it a lot easier for yourself to carry out all your tasks. By knowing exactly what you have to do, it is also easier to focus on the tasks. You are then not busy in your head with remembering your tasks. There are also many useful apps to make a to-do list.
Breaks
An old acquaintance, breaks. Focus and rest go hand in hand. When you want to finish your tasks productively and focused, it is important that you take regular breaks and do something completely different. There are also various apps for taking breaks, with which you keep regularity and a routine in your working day.
