Ways to stay focused

Whether you are working in the office or still working remotely, finding ways to stay focused is a huge challenge. Coming up with innovative ideas to keep the focus is an even bigger challenge — especially if you are working remotely.

Try implementing some or all of these tips to see if it helps.

  • Make sure to have a dedicated working space. This space is only for work. Try not to have your office in the dining room or kitchen or living room.
  • Minimize distractions – turn off TV or radio, or if working from home shut the door to your office and put a sign on the door so others in your family know not to interrupt you.
  • Take 5-10 minutes every hour to walk away from your desk, stretch your legs, clear your mind and give your eyes a break.
  • At the end of every day, take a few minutes to write down everything you need to work on the next day. That way you are starting every day knowing exactly what you need to work on.
  • Work on the hard projects first thing, when your mind is fresh and you are more alert.
