METHODS TO IMPROVE YOUR CONCENTRATION
Added on: 9th Feb 2016
USE TECHNOLOGY
No, we don’t mean Facebook. That has its place but what we
are talking about here is what we have already discussed
somewhat. Timers, organizers, notepads…today they can all be
synced between your devices to keep you organized
like never before. Make use of that.
SET ASIDE TIME FOR EMAILS
This includes things like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Viber as well.
Check these only at prescheduled times. You don’t need to be
connected to your phone constantly. Make the technology
work for you.
LIMIT DISTRACTIONS
This could mean any number of things but you know what
distracts you. Get rid of it.
BE CONSISTENT
If you find something that works for you, whether it’s working on
your back porch or sitting in Starbucks for a few hours, make
use of that. Consistency can be valuable.
FIND A QUIET PLACE
By now this can seem obvious, but we still tend to underestimate
the impact of our environment on our ability to work effectively.
DECLUTTER YOUR WORKSPACE
This is another thing we tend to underestimate. Keeping your
workplace clean can have a very powerful subconscious
effect on your work habits.
RELAX
It’s important to give yourself a break. We’ve already discussed the
mini breaks that you take during work but don’t forget the big
breaks. This means don’t take work home. When you are with
family turn your phone off. Spend time with friends and loved ones.
And take at least one day completely off from work per week.
MAINTAIN A ROUTINE
We are creatures of habit. Capitalize on that. Wake up at the
same time every day. Go to bed at the same time. It will
improve your focus drastically.
