Mastering Focus in an Age of Distraction

In a world full of distractions, staying focused can feel like an uphill battle. Warpcast is a good example—it’s an awesome tool but it can also be a huge distraction. I’d be lying if I said otherwise. 

So, I thought talking about this would make an excellent topic of the day. With so many different things drawing our attention, what do you do to stay focused?

One thing that I do is start each day with fresh to-do list that includes everything—even repetitive tasks. The tactile feel of crossing items off that list is strangely satisfying, no matter how small it is. I also break out my workday into small chunks. Working from home allows me to work for 2 hours, break for 2 hours, work for 2 more, break for 2 more, etc.

What do you do to help stay focused with so many distractions vying for your attention?

Block scheduling is super helpful. Lock your phone in a drawer and focus for a period of time. If the day is easy, distractions are okay, but always prioritize what's important.

I start my work day figuring out what needs to be done and prioritize. I generally have my weeks already blocked out for things, sometimes 2-3 weeks in advance. Easy days I spend more time here, busy days, no so much.
