How can I improve my concentration at work?
Thanks for asking.
No matter how prepared you are heading into a normal day at the office, spending hours at your desk can get mundane and boring.
Before you know it, your mind's wandering and you've lost focus.
According to a study published by Economist Intelligence Unit in October 2020, a third of working time is lost to distractions.
That's equivalent to a whopping 581 active hours per employee per year.
But actually it doesn't take much to get that concentration back and make some progress on your to-do list.
What are some tips for refocusing?
The first is not to skimp on breaks.
If you feel like your brain is overloaded or you're floundering on a task, stop.
It's better to unplug and preferably away from a computer or smartphone screen.
Get some fresh air, go have a coffee and talk to your colleagues instead.
Contrary to popular belief, the brain is far from inactive during a break.
It actually classifies and consolidates information during that time.
So rest isn't idleness, nor is it a lost opportunity for productivity.
Do you have to focus on one task at a time to be more efficient?
Indeed, the second tip is to avoid multitasking or keep it to the bare minimum.
Our brains are not actually designed to manage several things simultaneously.
At best, they can juggle two tasks.
That's because the cerebral cortex can be divided into two, but not three or more.
So it's time to say goodbye to multitasking.
Rearranging your work environment may also help.
It's been proven that surrounding yourself with green plants in the office can reduce headaches by 19 and fatigue by 30.
Furthermore, studies have shown that the productivity and well-being of employees in plant decorated offices were significantly higher than those of workers in empty offices.
What about your internal environment?
To feel zen and focused, you also have to know how to make room for yourself.
Harvard University advises focusing on mindfulness and meditation exercises to boost concentration.
This helps to refocus the brain on the present moment so that concentration is stronger on a daily basis.
One simple mindfulness exercise goes as follows.
Take a few minutes each day, close your eyes and focus on your breathing, body and surroundings.
If you turn these simple tips and advice into habits over time, you may be surprised at how focused you can become.
