Break work into focused intervals using techniques like Pomodoro, with short breaks to reset. Minimize distractions by setting boundaries, such as designated "do not disturb" periods and turning off non-essential notifications. Regularly review your goals to stay aligned with priorities. Keep your workspace organized to reduce mental clutter. Incorporate brief physical activities or mindfulness exercises to refresh your mind. Staying disciplined with these strategies helps sustain focus and productivity throughout the day.</p> <button class="contribution__see-more-button absolute bottom-0 right-0 hidden cursor-pointer
