Staying focused is the biggest challenge for most people

“Be aware when distractions come your way. You’ll know it’s a distraction when you stop doing what you’re supposed to be doing and find yourself pondering things that have no value.”

— Beverly R. Imes

Focused people are organized

Being organized is a habit that will stand you in good stead in all areas of life. Focused people are highly organized and therefore have everything falling in place.

A good organization helps you create a clear and clutter-free mind space, which enables you to work with focus without wasting time searching for things or wondering how to do what you want to do.

“Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.”

— Alexander Bell

Focused people take regular breaks

Most people push themselves to work beyond limits when they have lots to do. But this habit doesn’t help you to be more productive.

Working for long hours without rest can adversely affect your efficiency and lead to an inability to focus.

Highly productive people understand the importance of taking regular short and frequent breaks.

They work with total concentration for some time, then mentally switch off and get away from work, only to return with full force and enthusiasm.

“Research shows that in addition to slowing you down, multitasking lowers your IQ.”

— Dr. Travis Bradberry

In Conclusion

Once you train your mind to prioritize work over distractions, you won’t have trouble focusing on work, having highly productive days, and doing as much work as you want to get done.

“It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s how you carry it.”

— Lou Holtz
