Focusing on work really hard. These days we are using really powerful devices and these are also very useful and also disruptive devices. I am using three productivity hacks everyday for focus on my work for get sh*t done!

Before we started, these tricks worked for me. None of them are scientifically proven! It might work for me but not for you.

Preparation before Work

Before start working note every tasks in your notebook or notebook app. Personally I am using my notebook everyday. Firstly, write down the task you have to do.

Start working

I know it's kinda lame headline but hear me out. I am always setup a clock and start working on that work directly. Never check my phone which most of the time on Do Not Disturb mode. But for do that you have to do some preparation.

My Website Blocker & Focus Chrome Extension

I am also using block website feature from my own chrome extension (Yes, I created that extension for that 😎) which is help me to focus on my work. I don't get distracted from X, YouTube or any other website. But you can't use simple timer app.

If I survive in first 5 minutes, I can do more. If I can't still focus on that, I stop working. Because I have another hack to fix that. Lets continue with that.

Stop Working

If our brain cannot focus on work or simple task, that's mean you are overwhelmed. This is my motto. If I cannot focus then I stop working on anything. Starting doing my favorites things such as watching YouTube, hanging out or checking my X, Reddit homepage.

And I don't give myself a limit for doing that. When I get bored or wanna work, I get back working. Because my brain is bored of that kind of stuff. And work or tasks are getting more like entertainment for me.

Sleep Schedule & Work-Life Balance

Please do not mess with your sleep schedule. I know very amazing people but they cannot do deep work because of their sleep schedule. Take care of your body and your mind so you can work deep.

Give yourself at least one day off in a week. Do not open your laptop, do not follow any news or business related things. Just enjoy it. Get some time with your loves ones. In this world is not everything work or money.

Bonus: Build in Public or Write your Journey

Sharing your journey is very motivational way to keep focusing on work. If you are sharing your process on social media, it's gonna effect a lot. That's why most of the people scare to share their journey. It's very hard to do that because people are scared to failed.

Personally, I like to fail a lot because I learn a lot. Do not be scared to fail on something, every people can make mistakes. We can learn from our mistakes and become more senior on any topic.

I will learn mobile development and share my journey while streaming on YouTube, you can watch it soon. I can promise I will fail too much but this is the journey. If you are interested you can subscribe on my YouTube channel from here.

Thank you for reading it. Hope you have a great day/night!
