As an entrepreneur, you have a lot you are juggling. Staying focused can be tough with a constant stream of clients, emails, phone calls and family demanding your attention. In today's digital environment, it makes it especially hard to focus.
While multitasking is an important skill to have however, it is said that it reduces our intelligence. Who knew?
1. PRIOITIZE
Typically, we do mindless work first and build up to the toughest tasks. That drains your energy and lowers your focus as every decision we make tires the brain. In order to focus effectively, reverse the order. Tick off the tasks that require creativity or concentration first thing in the morning, and then move on to easier work, like deleting emails or scheduling meetings, later in the day.
2. FIND YOUR ZONE
Most people focus best in the morning or late at night, and it is said most people are more
productive outside the office. Notice where and when you focus best, then allocate your toughest tasks for those moments. When multitasking is the norm, your brain quickly adapts.
3. BE SINGLE-MINDED
You lose the ability to focus as distraction becomes a habit - as we have trained our brains to become unfocused. Practice concentration by turning off all distractions and committing your attention to a single task. Start small, maybe five minutes per day, and work up to larger chunks of time. If you find your mind wandering, just return to the task at hand.
Try these three easy steps above and let us know how you get on.
