- Set your space: Find an area in your house where you can sit comfortably and focus. Make it separate to your relaxation space. Ideally away from a TV screen or other distractions.
- Take Notes: Zoning out? Note-taking keeps your mind engaged
- Plan your Day: If you have a list of things to do, break it down into tasks and plan to do the hardest once when you have the most energy.
- Lessen Distraction : Harness your imagination and picture that you’re at work and not at home. Lock your phone away if you need to.
- Change it up: You probably have a schedule for your work, but if things are becoming difficult to focus on, take a 5-min break and come back to it – maybe listen to some soothing music for a bit.
- Take a break – Get up once in a while and have a snack break
- Journal it – use a journal to track your progress so you are in control of everything.
- Be positive – When things get tough, don’t just push through it. An excited and eager to learn attitude will speed up your progress.
