Improving Focus with Noise and Timers
One of the ways to improve focus is by using brown noise, which is a low-pitched sound that can help block out distractions. Another strategy is to use timers to set specific periods of focused work time, such as the Pomodoro technique. Taking small breaks in between work sessions can also help improve focus. These breaks allow you to recharge and come back to the task with renewed energy. Additionally, using social media blockers can be effective in reducing distractions and improving focus by limiting access to social media platforms during work hours.
