Staying focus at work can be herculean at times. But, you CAN do it. The most important point is to wipe out distractions. How? Well, it’s easy. Just plan your day before you start, clear up your desk and close all useless computer programs.

Have visible reminders of your daily routine. I use a yellow sticky note and a note book to keep track and what to follow up the next day. Most of the time we have to work on things that we’re not energized about. Look at it positively, concentrate on the gains of finishing your work. You’ll get it out of the way much sooner.

Mini breaks are crucial! Get up and walk away from your workstation. Stretch, make yourself a drink, or go for a toilet break. It helps me clear my mind whenever I feel thwarted and I come back renewed.

Another important thing is NOT to be too critical on yourself. It will stymie productivity and creativity. Be relaxed in your overture, it’s okay if it’s not perfect, as long as you keep trying to make progress.

Good luck. :-)
