Focus on a single task at hand to maximize productivity

from How to Break Up with Your Phone: The 30-Day Plan to Take Back Your Life by Catherine Price

How to Apply This

  1. Focus on one task at a time.
    Instead of trying to juggle multiple tasks, choose one task to work on and give it your full attention. By focusing on one job at a time, you can be more productive and effective.
  2. Break tasks into smaller, manageable parts.
    Large tasks can feel overwhelming and make it difficult to concentrate. To make things easier, divide your tasks into smaller, more manageable parts. This way, you can focus on completing one part at a time, which enhances your ability to concentrate and boosts productivity.
  3. Pair straightforward tasks together.
    If you have two tasks that don't require much mental effort, you can tackle them simultaneously. For example, you can listen to the news while doing household chores like washing dishes. Combining straightforward tasks can save time and prevent cognitive overload.
  4. Use a timer to stay on track.
    Setting a timer can help you stay focused and motivated. Allocate a specific amount of time for each task, and commit to working on it until the timer goes off. This technique can create a sense of urgency and prevent distractions, increasing your efficiency and task completion rate.
