Want to increase your focus? Always have an ending time for your activity.
An ending time serves as a mini-deadline, and deadlines have a way of making us focus a lot more intently than we usually do. Plan your ending time before you start the activity.
Here’s the great thing: It doesn’t matter if your ending time is 10 minutes from now or 2 hours away. The length of time you work is up to you. Just make sure you know how much time you’ll have before you start. You’ll get a lot more done and be more focused if your time isn’t open-ended.
