BRX Pro Tip: 2 Ways to Stay Focused
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, today’s topic, Staying Focused.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:08] Yeah. Here’s two ways that I use to stay focused. And they might seem like opposites, but they’re really important that you do both of these things.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:17] The first thing that I like to do is eliminate distractions. And the way that I do this is I use something called time boxing, which blocks time on my calendar that I know that I’m not going to be doing anything else except the task at hand. And that turns off all notifications. Sometimes it means put my phone in another room. But whatever the case is, I eliminate as many distractions as possible.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:42] And then, secondly, when I do time boxing like this, I also want to make sure that during those times that I have allocated to do the task is that I have regular breaks. And I don’t want to go more than 20 or 30 minutes at a time focused on one task. I want to really do that deep thinking, do the work. But then, I want to walk away. I want to clear my head. I want to take a walk. I want to do something. And then, I want to get right back to it.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:14] So, the combination of intense focus and then intense rest will help you get more done in less time.
