The most I’ve done is 45 minutes. I get too distracted still when I try for longer. 25 minutes is next right now because it forces me to pick discrete tasks rather than a big, nebulous one.
I have been struggling to focus on my work lately, but I have found that splitting my focused work time into 60 mins, 40 mins, and 30 mins with a 5-10 min break in between each helps me sustain working for two hours.
It depends on whether or not if I have a clear and care-free mind. If I’m stressed or have really bad anxiety, then it’s hard to spend large periods of time focusing on my work. But if I’m highly motivated and if I have a cleared mind, then I could maintain focus on every activity I do that day!
I usually only try for about 20 - 25 minutes. But if you really get into your work it’s ok to go longer, and often times you won’t realize that you have. Just allow yourself to really dive in and forget everything else and you’ll know when it’s a good time to stop based off of how you feel you’ve done in relation to the work. Good luck and keep going. Small steps lead to big change so be nice to yourself, small steps come first.
Focus less on the time and more on the quality. I try to give myself an hour or project or so (I’m dual enrolled that’s a lot of work.) But I have no real office space. And that makes it hard to focus. Today, when I started work I was immediately interrupted by a missing notebook, and then I had to use the bathroom, and then my mother came home and have me a 30 minute story of her collage professors before turning on the news. In order for deep work to work, it’s up to you to find out how much you can take. But it can only be good work if distractions are eliminated.
I spend 25 minutes in deep work. However, once the time is up, I spend another 25 minutes in deep work untill I have finished my task.
I’m a full time student so I try to study at least 4-5 hours a day. Usually I use the pomodoro technique to keep me focused and motivated. If I have to read, study or write a summary I set my pomodoro’s length at 50 minutes. This gives me enough time to read through some material and understand it. When I have to do practice questions I use the 25-minute pomodoro since they’re faster to solve than "read and study chapter one".
I like to spend at least thirty minutes in deep work. For me that is with background noise but not something so interesting that I can’t focus anymore. The rest of the time of upto 3 hours I like noises, getting up moving and doing different parts of the project.
about an hour or so, i get distracted really easily so sometimes i never do get a chance to study. I also suffer from depression and anxiety which really makes me overthink things that sometimes can be about my grades and studies. That’s why i downloaded this app. I figured it may motivate me from time to time :)
