5 Habits for Better Mental Focus at Work
Struggling to get back into your work routine? After a long holiday break, you’re not alone in finding it difficult to stay focused throughout the workday. Whether you’re working from home or the office, here are 5 habits that can help you cultivate better mental focus:
1. Plan Your Key Tasks Daily
What are your key deliverables for today? Writing down crucial deadlines and tasks that must be completed helps you focus on high-priority items. This practice reduces the risk of being distracted by less important tasks.
2. Set Time Limits for Each Task
Do you often find yourself drifting away from the task at hand? Allocate a specific amount of time to tackle each item and commit to focusing on that one task during the allotted time. For example, give yourself an hour to work on Task A—don’t switch tasks until the time is up.
3. Isolate Yourself If Necessary
Sometimes, external factors make it hard to focus during work hours. If your work environment is noisy or filled with idle chatter, it can be challenging to complete your tasks. Separating yourself from distractions can help you concentrate better.
4. Boost Mental Focus With 5-hour ENERGY®

5. Take Short Breaks
