The average person loses focus every six to ten seconds. When you find yourself drifting, recognize it and make a conscious effort to set yourself back on course. Here are four ways to refocus yourself:
- Start writing a to-do list. Just the cathartic act of writing down what you need to do will help you get back on track.
- Dive into your email. If you’re a deadline-driven person and find yourself without something pressing to do that minute, checking your backlog of unaddressed emails will help refocus that sense of urgency.
- Get up and walk around. Fresh air, a drink of water or a little conversation will help “reset” your mind for your next wave of productivity.
- Do something easy, that you know you’ll do well. That sense of accomplishment will help propel you into harder tasks on your to-do list.
