2. Do important work when you are full of energy
You need to know you have the most energy at what time of day and prioritize that time for the most important and the most difficult. A high level of energy will help you overcome the feeling of stagnation when doing harder work. After that, you should perform in order of priority and just focus on getting the task you're following done.
3. Break down tasks
The breakdown of tasks will help you evaluate the work in specific stages to take it as a basis for the most accurate completion. Looking at the small task list, you will get an overview of the work to be done and the close links between them. It is also the basis for re-evaluating the plan more objectively and accurately.
4. Wear headphones and live with noise
The workplace has many sources of sound distracting you, including the sound of objects crashing or furniture falling to the floor, message signals, etc. Wearing headphones is the best way to make you pay less attention to distracting sound sources. This is a signal to your colleagues that you are busy with work and need to stay focused at work.
However, the use of headphones will lead to inconveniences such as not being able to hear the manager, colleagues call, becoming isolated from the group, etc. Thus, you need to adjust the volume to a moderate level and only wear it one ear for people to reach you when needed.
Make a habit of living with noise
5. Train your brain to focus
Like the muscles in your body, your brain also needs regular drill. At first, you should try it for a short period of time, then gradually increase it and become a habit. You can train your brain's concentration by meditation to increase your ability to stay focused at work, improve your health effectively, and regain your work performance quickly.
6. Use the pomodoro technique
Pomodoro is a time management method to maximize concentration at work invented by Francesco Cirillo – CEO of an Italian software company. With this method, you have to define a task to do and do it for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After 4 repetitions like that, you rest for 15 to 30 minutes and start again until the task is done.
During this 5-minute break, you can get up to exercise or make a cup of coffee, or breathe outside air. Using a short break helps your body and brain rest and limit overload and work pressure.
7. Put distracting personal devices aside
Turn off phone notifications, Facebook and other browsers that can be a distraction when you need to stay focused at work. Swift all chat apps to offline and only pay attention to checking emails and necessary work groups. Don't tell yourself to just open your Facebook notifications for a bit, as this can take up a lot of your time.
