Sometimes, we know what our goals are, what we really want but yet somehow we are not able to fully focus. The things that really matter to us, deserve our focus. But just simply telling yourself “Stay focused” is easier said than done. Here are a few tips that will help you to stay focused on the things that really matter to you in life.
1) Acknowledgement
Understand what the things that really matter to you are. Acknowledge them. Once it becomes clearer that these are the set of things that matter the most to you, it becomes easier to divert your focus to those things.
2) Stay away from distraction
One of the best ways to stay focused to get rid of the distractions that are shifting your focus. Start with small distractions like moving to a quiet area, closing the door to your office, keeping the notifications off on your phone for a while, etc.
3) Social media detox
Experts believe it is healthy to take frequent breaks from social media. This helps one stay focused as it breaks the habit of checking social media every 5 minutes which actually ends up you wasting more time. Going off social media helps to focus on things that really matters.
4) To-Do List
Another effective way to stay focused on things that matter is to create a to-do list that will keep you moving. Initially, it might be difficult to achieve everything that you jot down. The best way to deal with this is to prioritize the tasks that are most important and try to complete them first.
5) Set a timer
One of the best ways to stay focused to set a timer to do short tasks. And upon completion, give yourself a reward of taking a 5 minutes break or munch a snack. This helps one feel motivated to get the task done within time and helps one to stay focused.
