The Surprising Strategies Ultra-Focused People Use to Crush Distractions Effortlessly
I remember working on a critical project a few years back.
My goal was to complete it within a week, but there were constant distractions – emails, phone calls, co-workers stopping by my desk. I quickly realized that if I didn’t set boundaries, my project would never get done.
I started scheduling “focus hours” into my day. During these times, I would close my email, put my phone on silent, and politely inform my co-workers that I was unavailable for casual chats.
The result? Not only did I complete the project within the deadline, but the quality of my work drastically improved. By creating and enforcing these boundaries, I was able to give my undivided attention to the task at hand.
