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

Imposing myself a daily routine of tasks to be accomplished within a certain time, and constantly coming back to this list whenever I feel that I am getting lost in reasoning or actions that take me away from the goal. It is very easy to stray from the goals with the many sources of information and possible levers of action available to us Only daily discipline can prevent getting lost.

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.
