How do you stay focused

Being able to stay focused as a person, can influence a lot of things in your life. But, it’s okay if you don’t know how to… Just relax and read through…

Create time blocks: You can achieve this by breaking your workload down into smaller bits.

Take it one step at a time: Pick something that you want to think about, and only think about that. Don’t let anything else enter your thoughts.

Take breaks: You need to step away from something you’ve been working on, take a short walk, talk to someone who has nothing do with what you’ve been focusing on and stay hydrated.

Take steps towards the big goal: An inch toward the bigger goal can actually be a massive step forward. Make sure everything you’re doing everyday is in some way a step towards your goal.

Compartmentalize: You would realize that you focus more when you do only one thing and not a million things at a time; it cuts down on the noise.

Make sure you take care of you: When you don’t do this, you would realize that you would end up being less efficient and less productive.

Put your phone away: It allows you to be physically and mentally focused.

Practice saying ‘not now,’ not ‘no’: When there are so many things that you want to do, it’s hard to say “no” to any of them. Instead, try to say “not now.” Not now doesn’t mean not ever; it just means that we’ll get to it once you’re done accomplishing whatever you’re focused on today.

Meet your goals head on: It involves embracing challenges and learning from failures. Each time you encounter a challenge, come up with solutions to get past them. Never forget, staying focused is an ongoing process.

Solitude: You can choose to remove every form of distractions and stay in a place where you would be alone.

Don’t let your inbox take over your to-do list.
