Blog Post #9: How to Improve Your Focus & Stop Procrastinating

Ever sit down to work, then suddenly find yourself scrolling on your phone for an hour? Procrastination is frustrating, but it’s not just about laziness—it’s about habits. Here’s how to train your brain to focus and actually get things done.

1. Use the “5-Minute Rule”

●      If a task feels overwhelming, just commit to 5 minutes.

●      Once you start, it’s easier to keep going.

2. Set Up a Distraction-Free Zone

●      Put your phone in another room or use focus mode.

●      Noise-canceling headphones and a clean workspace help your brain stay in work mode.

3. Work in Timed Sprints (Pomodoro Method)

●      25 minutes of focus → 5-minute break → Repeat.

●      This keeps your brain fresh and engaged.
