You are familiar with the following scenario, I am sure. There is a list of plenty of tasks, just waiting for you to accomplish. You’ve written them all down and chose a date to get the goddamn list done.

On that specific day — You are happy to have accomplished at least a few tasks. But how could that happen? You ask yourself. Then you remember the phone was ringing and a few emails popped up. The pop-up made you curious. Did you work in an office? Then the colleagues wanted to know a detail, only you could know or came in for a quick chat.

If some mentioned occasions happened to you, then you know how difficult it is to get back to your original task. But you try it and start concentrating again. Simply building up your mind around the current task. Boom again, an interrupt.

How to overcome such critical interrupts and finish your tasks? In this article, I am going to introduce you to a few approaches and techniques to conquer your tasks instead of them conquering you!

Focus on Deep Work

Do you know the book “Deep Work” by Cal Newport? If not, carry on. I’ll explain to you the technique. The book covers the requirements to deliver intellectual work with the best potential outcome. [1]
