Distractions are many. You need to keep your mind focused on your work.
When you find external thoughts gliding into your mind while you work, make the effort to push them out of your mind. Avoid distractions by making a schedule for your day’s work. Prioritize the tasks and allocate realistic time to complete each part with essential breaks for refreshing your mind and body.
Such time limits gear you and you concentrate on completing work within your schedule. Then distractions do not infest your mind.
A disciplined and sincere approach towards your work does not allow any distractions. This approach gets higher productivity levels.
Another technique to avoid distractions is to schedule your work according to your energy levels. Set difficult jobs for the morning if that is when your mind is alert and fresh. Then, you can do routine jobs in the afternoon when your energy and concentration level are relatively low.
Maintain adequate energy levels during the day with a proper diet. A carbohydrate-rich breakfast and a light lunch help you to be on your toes the whole day.
Other distractions like emails and telephone calls do not allow you to concentrate. Allocate a particular period of time to receive and make phone calls and clear your emails. Thereafter, do not entertain either of them.
Similarly, deal sternly with unwanted visitors while you are working.
