How to Enhance Focus and Concentration


There are a variety of factors affecting our focus and concentration skills today. For instance, always having our smartphones in our hands can be a problem. It's one of the biggest reasons for getting easily distracted. Even if we are not getting any calls or messages, we are constantly looking out for information. The fear of missing out, as it is said, keeps us away from focusing on our tasks or other matters.


With so many distractions around and an increase in screen time, our attention span and focus are going downhill day by day. Other factors may include having too much on your plate. There are so many tasks to complete, that you don't want to get started in the first place. And other than that, even if you are all set to work, a noisy environment can make things work.

How to Take Notes During a Meeting


Nothing beats the traditional method of notetaking. Digital methods can be very useful, but they are barely effective. But taking notes by hand is an art in itself. Doing things traditionally can be good for the mental health in a long run, and hand-written notes can also prove to be the greatest of teachers.

There is a slight advantage of having a limitation of time when taking notes by hand. It may seem like being able to respond fast would be challenging and it is, but the good thing is that it enables you to write down only what is important. With digital typing, you can be fast enough to write down the speaker's presentation word-to-word, which can make it tough to look back to and make out, after the meeting is long over.

With so many jobs out there, it can get confusing. It doesn't matter if you are already aware of your field. The amount of energy and management skills for each job can also vary according to the employer's requirements. It also doesn't make any difference whether you are just starting out in the industry, or you are an experienced professional. Sometimes, it can become hard even for the most professional people to find appropriate jobs.

How to Have a Wonderful Work Wardrobe

 Dressing up appropriately cannot only make you look good, but it can also make you feel more confident. The same rule goes for workplaces. The outfits you wear to work can have a major impact on your co-workers and may even affect your performance. Let's go through some tips to help you build an influential work wardrobe.

 To get started, you need to do some planning. First things first, you need to keep in mind the industry you are working in. For instance, going for a bubbly and joyful outfit if you work for a finance firm may make you stand out for sure but it will end up looking completely out of context. To achieve a good balance, you must base and synchronise your fashion sense with your personal style and workplace environment.

How to Let Go of Work After Hours

Work, work, work... Maybe this is the 24/7 mantra of your brain. And it's no wonder either since smart technology has only increased our work hours. Although there are many kinds of jobs that people can take, ranging from the most common full-time jobs to part-time jobs or even freelancing or working from home, work takes over a major part of our lives. While most of us easily leave our work behind to relax and engage in other personal activities and tasks, many of us don't really get out of it mentally. With smartphones, we are always being reminded of work one way or the other. 

 Even long after we are done with our typical work hours, a lot of us cope with work pressure. For instance, a sudden e-mail requiring some urgent work to be done after office or work hours may also get your spirit down. So you need to know how to respond with a 'no' before matters get worse and you find yourself working even during the rest of the hours that you weren't supposed to. Ultimately, you'll feel exhausted somewhere around midnight and drained of energy for the next day.

Successful Founders Give 15 Amazing Productivity Lessons

What is productivity for you? Using your skills and the resources around you, the tasks you manage on your own determine how 'productive' or 'creative' you are. Not essentially artistic, but being creative defines productivity. From the moment you wake up in the morning, you have the entire day in front of you and the first step towards being productive is having the big picture in mind.

 The fast-moving world of today requires us that we manage our time effectively. Productivity is all about the balance you keep between quality and quantity. So it is not really about how fast you can do something, but actually about how much you are getting out of your own efforts. A lot of projects are timeline-based, and even one day where you lack in productivity can get the project off the hook.
