Hello everyone!
Sometimes it’s hard to stay focused on our work; whether
it's our job, school, or even blogging. This is why I decided to share my tips on how I personally stay focused and get things done. Here are my 5 essentials for
staying productive & focused!
1. To-Do list
Every night, before bedtime, create a to-do list with a set
of things you need to complete. Most of the time, it is actually
easier to do things when you know what you need to do. Don’t try to
tackle too many tasks in one day. You’ll feel very satisfied when you see
everything checked off at the end of the day.
Also, if one of the items on your to-do list is getting your small business off the ground, check out Kabbage.com. It's the world’s fastest and easiest way to get funds to grow your business.

2. No multitasking
Now that you have a To-Do
list, get the most important tasks done first. Multitasking can
make you feel that you actually accomplish more, however experience has taught me that prioritising
items is better. If you really need to concentrate on something, you must
give it your undivided attention.
3. Music
Put on your headphones and
listen to music that helps you focus. I find I work best while listening
to music; if it’s too noisy or too quiet, my mind tends to wonder and I get
distracted.
4. Stay off social media
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
Pinterest; they all can be pretty addictive. Try not to log in to social
media while you are working, unless you have to update an online profile/page
as part of your job. If you want to check social media sites on your
break, do not linger more than 10 minutes.
5. Take a break
Just getting away for
awhile and focusing on something else can be beneficial. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every two hours and give your mind a break.
