5 Simple Productivity Tips To Help You Stay Focused

If the nature of your work permits it, and most work does, take all your work offline. This will keep your brain at an optimal level of functioning. Some professionals use devices that block out the Internet, i.e, EMP, in their work area, to help them maintain selective attention for a long time. 

If you can’t take your work offline, don’t connect any social media account to your desktop.  Connect only your work to the Internet. Also, muting your email notifications will help you focus more. 

Taking a significant break after a long period of focused work beats short intermittent breaks. Short intermittent breaks aren’t bad, they can help to prep the mind when the brain wants to switch to a task with similar technical responsibilities but different outcomes, etc. But a long break that has no work interference or thoughts will rest, nourish and reinvigorate the brain, therefore creatives, innovators, etc get insight and novel understanding after staying off their work for some time.
