Consider consuming caffiene early in the day to focus better on your work

Caffiene

When you are tired from doing work, don't pick up your phone to scroll mindlessly. Instead take Real Rest like walking, or a few pushups, or just looking out of the window. This will replenish your energy and will feel refreshing instead of tiring the brain even more.

For example, take a break for some time from a difficult probelm. Surprisingly you may have the answer to it while you resume it some time later.

Practice isn't something you do when you are good at something, it's something you do to become good.

"Common Sense isn't common action. "Many times we know the answer to a solution from common sense but we don't do what is needed to be done. Like for example we know that a headache can be cured by putting our phone aside and taking a break, but we continue to use our phones anyway. So do things which seem common sense, instead of undermining them due to their simplicity.

Common Sense

Most humans have trouble focusing on one task. While we attribute this to our laziness, it actually has an evolutionary reason. Early humans always had to stay aware of their surroundings for potential danger (like a tiger lurking around). So our brains have evolved to always have their attention scattered to be aware of their surroundings, hence making it hard for us to focus on one single task. So don't go too hard on yourself and try to improve your focus progreseively.

Our attention has never been as overwhelmed or in demand as it is today; we've never been so busy while accomplishing so little, and we've grown uncomfortable with boredom and a lack of stimulation and distraction.In Hyperfocus, Chris Bailey - described by TED.com as 'the most productive man you could ever hope to meet' - provides profound insights into how we can best manage our attention. He reveals how the brain switches between two mental modes - hyperfocus, our deep concentration mode, and scatterfocus, our creative, reflective mode - and how the surest path to being our most creative and efficient selves at work is to combine them both.The often counter-intuitive wisdom at play includes:- How working fewer hours increases our productivity- How drinking caffeine strategically instead of habitually gives us more energy- How we get more done by making our work harder, not easier- How we do our best creative work when we're the most tired
