Distractions and lack of focus

2. Eliminate digital distractions:

Install website blockers, turn off notifications, and put your phone in another room when working on your business. Digital distractions can quickly derail your focus and productivity.

3. Create a dedicated workspace:

Having a specific area designated for working on your business can help signal to your brain that it’s time to focus. Keep this space clutter-free and organized to minimize visual distractions.

4. Practice the Pomodoro Technique:

This time management technique involves working in focused 25-minute intervals, followed by 5-minute breaks. The short bursts of focused work can help you stay on task, while the breaks prevent burnout. To help with this purchase a kitchen cooking timer to help monitor your time.

5. Use noise-cancelling headphones:

Invest in a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs to block out external auditory distractions, like office chatter or background noise.

6. Prioritise and plan

Make a list of your tasks and prioritise them based on importance and deadlines. Create a daily schedule to allocate time for your business pursuits alongside your day job responsibilities. Use a calendar or white board to set your intentional daily schedule, be time specific with each task. Build in regular breaks to your schedule and use them to recharge and refocus. Additionally, reward yourself after completing important tasks or milestones to stay motivated and engaged.
