When you’re about to get to work and can’t seem to focus, just go do something else for a while.
That tip doesn’t make sense until you give it a try.
It’s similar to the idea generation process, where you can come up with more ideas when you stop thinking about it.
So whenever you’re distracted, instead of trying too hard to concentrate on your task, go out for a walk, have a quick workout, have a quick chat, call a friend, declutter your room or put some music on and dance for a few minutes.
When you get back to what you were doing, you’ll find it easier to concentrate and will feel fresh and be in a better mood.
