Title: Tips to Improving Focus

Hey there,

Improving your focus isn't as difficult as you may think.
In yesterday's email, you should have identified some of the
things that are killing your concentration. It’s time to learn 
how to overcome them by hacking your mind. 

Mind Hacks to Improve Productivity

You need to hack your mind in order to become more productive. 

These tips will also help you deal with those time killers that
eat away at your day and make tasks take twice as long to finish. 

1) Work when you’re at your most productive. 

Not everyone is at their most productive in the morning. Some think
more clearly at other times of the day. By adjusting your schedule to
coincide with your peak brain activity, you’re setting yourself up
to get more done. 

2) Use the Pomodoro technique.

The Pomodoro technique is a time management tool that requires you
to break your day into specific 20-minute periods, called Pomodoros. 

During those 20-minute periods, you focus solely on the task at hand,
ignoring all distractions. Every three Pomodoros, you get to take a
five-minute break. 

3) Unplug yourself from the internet.

The internet is a major time distraction. Put your computer on
airplane mode so that you can’t go online. 

This will force you to focus on your tasks without the temptation
of Facebook, YouTube, and all of the other websites that call for
your attention. 

4) Ignore your phone.

Every time your smartphone goes off, it draws your attention to it,
not what you’re working on. Place your phone in a drawer, turn it off,
put it on silent, or do whatever you need to do in order to eliminate
this time killer. 

5) Stop multitasking.

Multitasking has negative effects on the brain. Studies have shown that
it lowers your IQ. It also forces you to take longer to finish your
tasks, and makes you 40% less productive overall. 

Instead, only do one thing at a time. 

6) Form better habits. 

It takes 21 days in order for a new activity to become a habit. 
Begin these new habits now, and before the month is out, you’ll
be more productive than ever. 

Keep an eye out for my email tomorrow and I'll let you in 
some really effective ways to boost productivity.


Until then,
