Use the Pomodoro Technique: Divide your work into 25-minute work blocks with a 5-minute break in between. This method helps improve work efficiency.

- Repetitive downtempo music.
- Noise-cancelling headphones.
- Calendar day blocked in a way so there's no distraction within 2 hour focus time.
@dailyfitnessai If it's ambient or binaural, because of lack of sounds, it gets distracting for me. So i'd pick more lo-fi. Chilled Cow YT channel maybe a good example.
Music helps me concentrate, I listen to it whenever I have the chance.
Turning off the notifications, whenever possible, also works wonders.
I just naturally concentrate better when it actually REALLY matters 😂 like after procrastinating a bunch
Prioritizing tasks and setting clear goals for the day is a must. Ticking off completed items gives a satisfying sense of accomplishment.
I believe in discipline - it's the best habit ). Discipline helps you concentrate when it matters. What matters is a different question
You practice for it, when it doesn't matter, so that performing when it matters becomes second nature. Your weakest performance during practice, sets the baseline for the worst performance for when it matters. And if you can bring it up, then even YOUR worst performance might outrank who didn't practice as much.
Everything else is just a tactic.
Turn off notifications, do the task in silence, use Pomodoro Timer, keep track of your progress, turn on rain sounds to reduce background noise. That is all what I do conentrate.
Sometimes I go out of my comfortable room and go down to cafe. I often try to change my environment and put myself in public with some nice drink.
I usually just visualize the consequences of not finishing the task on time. If I see that I can mess things up big time, I start working super fast and effectively
Noise-cancelling headphones (love my jabra evolve) and low-fi music. Nothing beats it for me!
Make sure my environment is properly organized and do away with any noisy destruction.
