Whoever experiences this situation, let me tell you that you are not alone. Because the problem of attention deficit caused by this digital lifestyle is full of people who can’t wait for anything and also don’t have the ability to focus on one thing for a long time.

Who has the problem of ‘not being able to concentrate’ while working, easily distracted, even if sitting in front of the computer all day, but at the end of the day still hasn’t gotten the work done? UFABET has 6 easy techniques to help create concentration before starting work and during work for you.

Take a deep breath before starting work: Before starting work each day, find a quiet corner and close your eyes. Breathe in and out deeply. Inhale for 5 seconds and exhale for another 5 seconds. Do this continuously for 1-2 minutes. It will help the body relax and allow more oxygen to the brain. This will increase the brain’s ability to work and help you concentrate better. In addition, if there is a meeting or presentation, this method can also help relieve anxiety and increase confidence.  

A cup of coffee before work begins: Caffeinated drinks do not only help to fight drowsiness, but has also found that caffeine helps to increase concentration, reduce distraction, and make us focus on the work in front of us better. Whether in the morning or afternoon, if you feel exhausted and unenergized, you can order a cup of black coffee or hot green tea to sip while working. This will help boost brain and body energy. However, it is recommended to sip it so that the caffeine does not enter the bloodstream too quickly.

Turn off unnecessary notifications first: Smartphone notifications are the easiest distraction. Even if you turn off the sound and turn on the vibrate, if your eyes accidentally glance at it for even a moment, it can cause you to lose focus. It is recommended that before starting work, you should turn off unimportant notifications, such as notifications from various social media, leaving only notifications related to work. Or if you have urgent work that you really need to focus on, turn on the moon mode, turn off all notifications, including emails, for 30 minutes, and focus on the work fully. Believe me, you will be able to clear a lot more work.

Drink water every hour: Another easy technique to increase concentrate is to drink enough water. It is recommended to drink 1 glass of water every 1-2 hours. It helps the brain function normally and increases concentration during the day. Because dehydration causes hormones to fluctuate, which affects brain function. It also makes the blood thick, does not circulate well, and does not transport enough oxygen. This results in drowsiness and sluggishness.

Find time to rest, don’t work marathon: Working continuously for several hours may help you get more done, but it also makes you exhausted and your brain dull faster. This is because our brains can only focus on work for a short period of time. After a while, our attention will decrease, we will start to feel sluggish, and we will lose focus. Therefore, if you want to be productive and have full concentration on your work, we recommend alternating work with breaks to recharge your brain. An interesting break technique is to work for 50 minutes and then take a 10-minute break. A short break is a way to relax your mind and help you focus on your work better.

Another technique is to take a break by taking a nap. Work continuously for 90 minutes and then take a nap for 10-20 minutes. Napping will help the brain and body to be more alert and respond to stimuli better. Those who tend to feel sleepy in the afternoon, don’t force yourself. Find a short nap (should not nap for more than 20 minutes because it will make you drowsy). When you wake up, you will definitely be ready to work for a long time. For those who are in the office and can’t take a nap, just rest your eyes from the screen, go get some coffee, or stand and look at the sky, breathe in and out deeply for 10 minutes. That will help.     

Get enough sleep: Sleep has a direct effect on concentrate and memory. It is recommend to find time to sleep at least 6 hours per night. But it is better to try to schedule your work and finish as much work as possible during the day. At night, you will be able to rest fully, which is better for your body and work efficiency.
