17 Tips to Help You Transform from the Girl with No Focus ...

I know it seems obvious to say but I’ll say it anyway – just as a reminder. Better focus = better results. And it applies whatever task you are doing – whether you’re applying mascara or writing a work presentation. Lose focus and you stab yourself in the eye with the mascara wand or produce a set of slides that ramble and aren’t cohesive. Use these tips and never lose focus again. (Well, ok, it will happen, but these will help you get right back on track when it does.)

Have Some Snacks on Hand (for Ease)

Let Your Friends Know That You Need to Work

person, profession, got, to-do, list, Tell your friends that this day needs to be dedicated to your work, because if they know you are trying hard, then they will be less likely to message and distract you (hopefully!)

11

Wear Your Headphones, Even if You Aren’t Listening to Music

person, EXCLUSIV, Mariah, Daily.com, IDON'THEARICY, If somebody sees you wearing headphones, then they are not likely to come up to you to start socializing. Even if you aren’t listening to music, the headphones act as a barrier so that you can stay focused.

12

Set Your Profiles to Away, Busy, Offline Etc

meal, dish, breakfast, toy, brunch, If you can’t quite face signing out completely, then the least you can do is set your profiles to the ‘busy’ settings so that people who want to contact you can see that you are not available right now.

Organize Your Emails

16

JFDI

person, profession, GIFWAVE.COM, Never, half-ass, This is my personal favorite because it’s what I do. When I have something I don’t particularly want to do or am up against a deadline, I pull out my laminated JFDI sheet and stick it right where I can see it. JFDI? Just F**king Do It!

17

Personalize Your Desk

sculpture, watercraft rowing, rTT, This might seem counter-intuitive but it can work. Have a favorite photograph on your desk or a stress relief toy, or just something you like to fiddle with. I do this for two reasons: it gives me something to do while I’m thinking – if my hands aren’t occupied, they magically start creeping to the keyboard and the social media pages; and a photo can be motivational and remind you why you’re working.
