how to keep your focus 😵‍💫✨

hey you!! have you ever found it tough to focus for an extended period of time?

keeping focus has also been a big challenge for me, but here’s some things i do to help 🤩

1) create a to-do list ✔️

this seems like a big big no brainer but i often skip this step 😵‍💫 i’ll end up disoriented since i don’t have a clear goal in mind.

creating a to-do list of what i want to accomplish helps me visualize what needs to be done AND i can easily track my progress. ✅

2)have a time limit ⏳

the easiest way to get something done is to simply start. half the battle won once you’ve started 🤺 BUTTTT actually sitting down and opening your laptop/notes/whatever you need to get done is easier said then done 😮‍💨

with that in mind, set a time limit for you to accomplish you task. if you limit the time you have to get something done, you’re more likely to start it 😉 (be sure to set a REALISTIC time frame!!)

3)eliminate distractions 🚫

before you start working on ANYTHING, get rid of your phone, ipad, all the things you know will distract you. put them in a box and hide it in another room. out of sight, out of mind 😏

distractions can really hinder your progress - there was once i was working on a project but a notification on my phone popped up. i went to check it (in case there was any emergency yk) unbeknownst to me, i was scrolling on my phone for an entire hour, distracted from the task at hand 😀 (the notification was not work related AT ALL 💀)

4)take regular breaks 🧘‍♀️

take breaks in between your tasks/ after you’ve completed them. this will keep you mind fresh and ready to absorb any new information (or dig out the old ones)! 🧠

go for a walk, or read a book! (remember to stay hydrated!)

at the last slide, i’ve attached some of my favorite pomorodo timers, and apps i use to track my to-dos. know any more tips? do share them with me in the comments ❤️! (then go and do ur work!!)
