Categorizing your tasks into long-term or immediate really helps with prioritizing. It gives you a better sense of direction and helps with time management. Are you going to give this tip a try for better focus at work? If you do I would love to hear how it works for you. Cheers!
Great video: I used to easily get distracted especially from social media until using a free browser extension called Betimeful which basically removes newsfeeds or unnecessary recommendation videos off my social media platform once it realizes that I am in my work mode. It’s life-changing
Being a creative it can be hard to stay focused, always so many other ideas to explore! The best way I find I stay focused is to write everything I need to do, headphones on and blast out some high-tempo music. No way to get distracted.
Awesome! It's great that you have figured out how to stay focused at work in a way that works for you. Music is a great motivator for myself as well. Cheers!
I love the tip about to-do lists. I like keeping all my to-do's in the same planner as my calendar so I can easily look at the whole week or even month and prioritize accordingly. Great tips for how to stay focused at work. Distractions are no good!
I agree, distractions are no good! Great job with finding a way to keep to-do lists that works for you. To-do lists are incredibly important if you want to stay focused at work. Cheers!
It is really hard to stay focus at work for me. I think it is because I am in an open environment and everyone is so friendly and wants to talk. I think I have put my self in a bad light because I am always telling people around me I can't talk or my mood just shows them I don't want to be bothered so now no one really talks to me but to everyone around me. Now with the virus, I am working from home and going into the office one day a week which is always hard because people really want to talk now because we don't see each other that often anymore. I don't know where to start with my to-do list but on Monday I will dedicate an hour to complete a to-do list. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Christine, I hear you. It can be a struggle to stay focused in an office where everyone wants to chat, and COVID has surely changed things drastically for everyone. It sounds like you've done a great job of protecting your productivity by communicating with people when you need to stay focused. I'm sorry to hear that people haven't reacted to this well, but as long as you're choosing to communicate with them in a positive manner, you're doing your part in making the environment a positive and productive one. I hope the tips from this video help you stay focused at work and that your coworkers will do the same after seeing you lead by example. Cheers!
Adriana, I love the concept of picking three core things to focus on. Sometimes I have a hard time packing my to-do list to the brim. Great tips, as always!
This was so fantastic. I recognized myself in some of these. I recently began shutting off my phone and my email alerts when I'm working because the distractions were keeping me from getting things done. It's done wonders! Now I have some new ones to try. Thank you, I think I'll try blocking time off on my computer next!
Interesting! It's great that you've identified what environment helps you focus better. There are definitely distractions in both settings and it's important to know how to stay focused wherever you are working. Cheers!
Glad it helps - there are many distractions when working from home, some of them are just different distractions. Thanks for watching and hope you stay focused at work today! Cheers.
Thanks for adding your suggestions for how to stay focused at work. Taking breaks is key because sometimes we really need them just to get ourselves back on track and focused. Cheers!
excellent video. made me very clear . from tomorrow i will try to follow these steps . I will ask you if i have any query. You are such a great guider for everyone. God bless you. Redards, Proloyjit from India.
Proloyjit, thank you so very much for the kind words. Please feel free to reach out at any time should you have any questions for me. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Great tips, Adriana! :) As far as to-do lists go, I've tried many app alternatives to paper, but nothing beats a plain piece of paper, at least for me. I love drawing little check boxes to cross-off, it makes me feel like I've accomplished something every time I check a box.
Thanks for sharing, Simona - I agree, there is a very accomplished feeling that comes with crossing things off your to do list. While I have calendars set up digitally, I also use paper versions and when I need an in-the-moment to-do list, I always grab a pen and paper and write it down in front of me so I can check it off later. Cheers!
Hiding the phone is often necessary! Or at least, turn on my favourite feature - Do Not Disturb! I hope these tips help you improve your focus at work and avoid distractions. Cheers!
my distractions are meetings (3-5h per day), these prevent to do my actual work (I am a developer). I feel pissed because they want to see results, but I didn't accomplish anything because of meetings. And I can't work between the meetings, because I have to prepare and I am mentally exhausted. Sometimes I work on the weekends if everyone is having free time and this is the best time to work = no distractions. I hate this so much. :( What can I do? I already started to search for a new job
@MilMike I thing that it's fair to say that meetings are a distraction for many, especially when they are long and plentiful. Do you really need to be in all the meetings? It's worth asking. Wishing you all the best and thanks for watching, cheers!
I hear you, it's easy to get overwhelmed by all the things we have to do. Take it one step at a time and put all your energy and effort into the moment at hand. Making multiple to-do lists like I mentioned can also help so you know what to prioritize and it gives you clear direction on where to start. Cheers!
Turning off notifications is helpful if you want to stay focused at work! I'm glad you've identified this distraction and are doing something about it to help keep yourself focused. Cheers!
It's always hard when it's your colleagues who are also probably friends as well, popping by your desk and distracting you from being productive. Whether you are in an office, or at a cubicle your can establish a power hour to get things done. Attached are two links to our power hour tent card and door hanger. Or you can get creative and create one yourself. You just need to speak up and establish in a polite way, that your have tons to do and you can chat later.

I consider myself a hard worker, but I have been lacking in time management and organization. These two skills really make or break a person.
