It takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to refocus after being distracted at work!
Here's my work routine to help you master anything:
1. Disconnect
Cut out the noise!
Keep your smartphone away to avoid notifications, calls, and texts.
These little distractions are the enemy of deep work.
2. Focus on One Task at a Time
Studies show that multitasking reduces productivity by 40%.
Break projects into small, achievable chunks.
Long-term multitasking affects a person’s memory and accumulated knowledge.
3. Sleep Well
Adults need at least 7 hours of sleep per night for optimal health.
Your brain should be well-rested to be ready for deep work.
Good sleep = High productivity
4. Work In Nature
If possible, do your deep work sessions outside early in the morning.
Fresh air, natural light, and greenery instantly lift up your mood.
The change of scenery can also make you feel more energized and focused.
5. Play Music
Without music, life can get boring!
Put on a playlist in the backdrop.
And when you are in your zone, you are more productive.
6. Enjoy What You Do
Find something you love to do, and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
Deep work doesn't have to be a grind.
Keep an inspiring mission and find interesting things so it feels more like play than work.
Most importantly, deep work is a skill that can be trained and improved over time.
Let’s go!
