1 Set SMART goals

One of the first steps to staying focused on your work is to have clear and specific goals that you want to accomplish. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. These criteria can help you define what you want to do, how you will do it, how you will measure your progress, why it matters, and when you will finish it. SMART goals can help you break down your work into manageable tasks, prioritize your actions, and track your results.

In my experience, I've found the WOOP technique to be more efficient than SMART to stay focused at work. Here's how to use it: - Wish: Set a goal for the day. - Outcome: Imagine the satisfaction and success of achieving that goal. - Obstacle: Identify any internal distractions or worries. - Plan: Come up with a strategy to deal with those distractions.

I always write out a checklist of to-do's by hand and cross them off as I get to them. It's a satisfying system being able to literally *physically* cross things off my list. I consider it a productive day when everything is marked off, even on days when it feels like nothing is going how I want or expect it to.

2 Plan your day

Another way to stay focused on your work is to plan your day ahead of time. Planning your day can help you allocate your time and energy to the most important and urgent tasks, avoid distractions and interruptions, and create a realistic schedule that suits your preferences and needs. You can use a calendar, a planner, a to-do list, or an app to plan your day. You can also review your plan at the end of the day and reflect on what you achieved, what you learned, and what you can improve.

Be realistic about the plan for your day or it could turn against you. Making a huge list is not the goal here. Allocate tasks with realistic time ( include some time for a break). This will help you to prioritize better. You cannot complete 5 tasks that take 5 hours each day. Pick carefully.

3 Eliminate distractions

Distractions are one of the biggest enemies of focus and productivity. They can come from various sources, such as your phone, your email, your social media, your colleagues, your family, your environment, or your own thoughts and emotions. To eliminate distractions, you need to identify what triggers them, how they affect you, and how you can avoid or minimize them. For example, you can turn off your notifications, close your browser tabs, wear headphones, work in a quiet space, or set boundaries with others.

Stay away from all social media. Focus on task on hand. Notes is always effective for me. I look at all my notes and check the task once done.

4 Take breaks

Taking breaks is not a sign of weakness or laziness. It is a necessary and beneficial practice that can help you recharge your energy, refresh your mind, and maintain your focus and performance. Taking breaks can also help you prevent burnout, stress, and fatigue. The optimal frequency and duration of breaks may vary depending on your work, your personality, and your preferences, but a general rule is to take a short break every 25 to 50 minutes, and a longer break every few hours.

5 Reward yourself

Rewarding yourself is another way to stay focused on your work and motivate yourself to achieve your goals. Rewards can be anything that makes you happy, such as a snack, a drink, a hobby, a compliment, or a celebration. Rewards can help you reinforce your positive behavior, acknowledge your efforts, and increase your satisfaction and enjoyment. You can reward yourself after completing a task, reaching a milestone, or overcoming a challenge.

6 Seek support

Finally, staying focused on your work does not mean that you have to do it alone. You can seek support from others who can help you stay accountable, provide feedback, offer advice, or share their experiences. Support can come from various sources, such as your manager, your colleagues, your friends, your family, or a personal coach. Seeking support can help you overcome obstacles, learn new skills, gain new perspectives, and feel more confident and connected.

Struggling to stay focused.... hmmm, this is a sign that you are tired! Being a leader, mentor, coach, is also about taking care of yourself. If you can't take care of yourself, how can you take care of someone else? Take your time, relax, rest, and things will go better.

One thing that I challenge leaders on that gets left off quite frequently is to quantify the time needed each week to be successful in the area that they are focused on completing. By quantifying your time, you can then begin to measure if it is leading to success in your goals. Example would be when I ask those that focus on business development to give me how many hours each week to feel accomplished. Everyone has a different answer that is personal to them and now they can measure if they are spending enough time or if they need to pivot in order to reach their goals. Setting SMART goals is just step one. Ensure that you support clients in quantifying the time needed along with specific actions they will take to hit their targets.
