Holding Focus
Other than caffeine and noice cancelling headphones, what else do you do/take to put in a good days work? I'm having trouble staying focused. Looking for ideas. Thanks
Drugs
Walking or jogging, pomodoro timer
Hydration, exercise, healthy diet. Sleep obviously
Depends on the nature of job. If you don’t have to sit in front of computer 100% of time, do no computer activities not at your desk. I take conference calls while walking. Helps me focus. Also, taking 5 min walking break before the top of the hours also helps focus for next hour. If you have the flexibility, Don’t plan to be in office all day if you don’t have to. We expand even the simplest of work based on the time available... so if there is 4 hour of work, and we have 8 hours, we do unproductive shit for the extra 4 hours we have.
Remove everything from your desk except KB, mouse, and a single monitor. Listen to ambient music without vocals.
Block calendar to avoid getting invites to meetings.
