How do you get back to work when you lose focus?

Taking a short break is the way to go!

As an ex-manager I've experienced this a lot, it became worse when I should handle multiple projects. Try breakdown the task into mini task, usually, I write it in notion or Trello. Achieving something can push us to get more achievement, it's something that Duolingo did. What I feel sometimes, after taking a break or do on another project it's very hard to back to an urgent one and I notice it because the urgent one can be very painful, very hard, and get more obstacles. :D

I take a small break where I do something that's still productive but not super draining.

Take a break, make a cup of tea, run some errands, or go for a quick walk.

There is an app called Forest. it's a pretty good one (like a gamified Pomodoro timer) - and, i use it to get back on track.

I use a focus timer to bring my focus back. I also have set up my systems to have almost no distractions from my focus.

I usually remind myself of what we are working toward as a team and what I am working toward as an individual. This gives me extrinsic and intrinsic motivation.

Take a walk around my home

Take holidays go to mountains have a change of mind and then join again.

I'm just here to see if there are any tips here that could help, cos I just lost focus and I have a pressing deadline :)
