1.Plan ahead.
Write down what things need to get done or what you want to accomplish. Setting goals can help people stay on track.
2.Clear you workspace.
Remove everything that could distract you from your workspace.Make sure all of thesurrounding area is cleaned of debris.
3.Close unrelated applications.
One survey found nearly 60% of disruptions at work come from email, web browser, social networks and cell phones. Put your phone on silent and check email only occasionally (try once every hour). Limit time on social media too.
4.Do small task
Some psychologists suggest that our brain works way too hard to process incredible amounts of information. So working on one large project can be overwhelming — like trying to plan a whole event at work in one afternoon. Split up projects into individual tasks so they’re easier to accomplish.
5.Time box
Work on one project for a specific amount of time, rather than working until something is finished. (Write emails until 2 p.m., instead of stopping at inbox zero.) This way we know we can work hard until a certain time, and then be able to take a break.
6. Take liitle break
Getting to the office early, working through lunch and staying late doesn’t necessarily mean getting more stuff done. Short bursts of hard work followed by quick breaks can be more beneficial than never taking a breather, since the brain may just burn out.
7. Try an app
Discard any distractions with a little help from technology. Certain apps can block websites (so long, Pinterest) or black out computer screen backgrounds so only one program is in view at a time. There are web tools that can calculate how much time is spent on websites, too. (Now that could be scary.)
