I set priorities of things to get done and try to tackle the hardest, followed by something easy, and then something hard. I try to take stretch breaks while still thinking about my work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brionna N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tend to use the pomodoro method, which is essentially where you work for 25 minutes, then take a 5 minute break. After 4 pomodoros (2 hours), you take a longer break (about 30 minutes). I personally find it difficult to stay focused for long periods of time, so I use this method to prevent burnout. I also suggest putting your phone in a place that\u2019s hard to reach so you don\u2019t get distracted by it a easily. You can also write down what distracted you during each \u201cfocus session.\u201d I find this very helpful, because you know what needs to change next time so you can focus better. I hope this helps! Have a great day \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courtney E. Play music in the background, Chew gum, or have some tea right next to me.
