Define a purpose and improve concentration at work

Define a purpose and concrete objectives.
Having direction is key to being productive. So, before you sit down to work, define your purpose first and create some concrete objectives.

Focus and concentrate deeply.
Give your full attention to the task at hand, even if you don’t enjoy it. Focusing and concentrating deeply is a skill that needs to be developed. It may be hard at first but try your best to refocus yourself every time you feel your attention wandering.

Remove distractions.
You need to remove all distractions so you can focus properly. Your phone is the biggest one, but also consider other distractions like the TV or other chores that will take attention away from your work.

Avoid multitasking.
Research shows that multitasking is ineffective and does not make you more productive. So, avoid the temperature to split your attention between multiple tasks.
