White noise, punk, or techno music at diabolical volume, I'm afraid I'm not very original. 😞

Turn off notifications and drink a cup of coffee.
- Repetitive downtempo music.
- Noise-cancelling headphones.
- Calendar day blocked in a way so there's no distraction within 2 hour focus time.
@shakir_dzheyranov What type of down tempo music? Lofi or binaural?
@dailyfitnessai If it's ambient or binaural, because of lack of sounds, it gets distracting for me. So i'd pick more lo-fi. Chilled Cow YT channel maybe a good example.
@shakir_dzheyranov Cool. Listening to Chilled Cow Lofi now :)
I just naturally concentrate better when it actually REALLY matters 😂 like after procrastinating a bunch
Sip something and put on headphones with known music.
Music helps me a lot and tasks written on paper.
You practice for it, when it doesn't matter, so that performing when it matters becomes second nature. Your weakest performance during practice, sets the baseline for the worst performance for when it matters. And if you can bring it up, then even YOUR worst performance might outrank who didn't practice as much.
Everything else is just a tactic.
Prioritizing tasks and setting clear goals for the day is a must. Ticking off completed items gives a satisfying sense of accomplishment.
-Work standing up
-Keep smart phones away
@hayato_onodera Ah ha yes, that's why I have a standing table.
Drinking coffee and chatting!
@mrnigelengel where do you chatting? Is it helps you with your focus?
Music helps me concentrate, I listen to it whenever I have the chance.
Turning off the notifications, whenever possible, also works wonders.
I use Pomodoro Tracker
Take a 15min nap and work again !
Turn off notifications, do the task in silence, use Pomodoro Timer, keep track of your progress, turn on rain sounds to reduce background noise. That is all what I do conentrate.
Launching soon!
Noise-cancelling headphones (love my jabra evolve) and low-fi music. Nothing beats it for me!
I believe in discipline - it's the best habit ). Discipline helps you concentrate when it matters. What matters is a different question
Over the last 15 years I've found that the only fool-proof way to concentrate when it matters is to do what you feel matters :)
Sometimes I go out of my comfortable room and go down to cafe. I often try to change my environment and put myself in public with some nice drink.
I turn off notifications, play white noise or instrumentals, and then work.
