6 Tips To Stay Focused On Work, One Of Them Is Regular Sports

JAKARTA - Whether working remotely or in the office, of course there will be many disorders that can limit productivity. If you find it difficult to stay focused on work, the following small steps can make a big difference.

An important part of creating a focused workspace is getting rid of the annoyance. This can put you in the right mood to work and increase productivity.

Chaye McIntosh, clinical director at ChoicePoint, quoted from Psych Central, Tuesday, August 13, explained that it is important to prepare a special room at home to be used as an office if you work from home. Make sure to keep it neat so you can focus on work. The same applies if you work from the office. Keep the table neat can support concentration and help you meet your deadline with a lot of free time.

"Avoid disturbances during working hours, such as doing personal tasks or checking social media," McIntosh said.

This is not just a waste of time, but also hampers your productivity and performance. Try to grow habits that support your efforts to be productive.

For example, wake up at the same time every day, select breakfast with a healthy menu, and start and end work at the same time. Routines can help you stay on the right track, even if you work in a changing environment.

Or you can use the pomodoro time management technique, which is to set a timepiece for 20 minutes to focus on work. Then rest when the timeframe reads. Although commonly used by individuals with ADHD, this technique can also be the right tool for anyone who may have difficulty getting started or stay focused.

Involve yourself in nature during rest hours by taking a walk. This will help overcome the seismic lifestyle. According to a 2018 study on school children, daily physical activity for 4 weeks can increase concentration.

A review from 2019 confirms that regular exercise offers many benefits other than a healthier body. For example, exercise can increase memory, attention, and performance which are all advantages that can help you continue to do your tasks.

The list of tasks is a simple but powerful tool that can be used to stay focused in the workplace. This list allows you to see which tasks need to be completed and when.

It's hard to concentrate when your stomach is hungry. For that, consider bringing healthy snacks so that you stay strong and focused. One review in 2019, shows that snacks offer psychological benefits such as reducing stress and providing energy for completing tasks.

If you work for a full 8 hours, it's important to rest regularly. Staying away from the desk can increase your productivity. Even a short 5 to 15 minute break can help you recharge and increase focus when you get back to work. Setting a break helps ease charging and helps you maintain productivity at the end of the day.
