Move out of a particular environment with one or multiple distractions that are depriving you of focus. For example, some people pack the necessary work or the things required for an artistic production session, and go to the library or a quiet café to continue working in peace. Depending on how heavy your distractions are, you’ll be able to escape them literally by creating a barrier around you. There aren’t always ways to cope with a particular distraction, sometimes the only thing one can do is cut and run.Thus, while you may not be able to ‘escape’ some of the worst distractions in your life , here are some things you can do to banish them from your thoughts. I prefer you don’t take your phone to class with you or have any other devices such as iPad or tablet, switch off your Wi-Fi connection and close any other website you have opened if it is not related to what you are doing in class.Work environment best can therefore be defined as a working space characterized by minimal interferences. This can mean constantly receiving calls, text and emails or remaining connected through cell phones, computers and social media but it can also encompass anything that wakes up the memory of what you would rather be doing.

5. Do your important work first

Organize your schedule and activities, and know beforehand what needs to be achieved and which tasks are important or difficult to accomplish. By doing so, there will be at least some degree of guaranteed that the most important work had been completed. Be able to decide smart so that any remaining work can be completed in a minimum of time and effort. After sometime the feeling of having to go through all the work that has remained undone will fade away.Such situations as when you have to outline a proposal and schedule some meetings and then answer e-mails, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. In this respect, before using the rest of the day chasing schedule and pursuing correspondences that require completion, it is helpful to fill up the outline first.

6. Take a break sometimes

It is recommended to take short and often breaks and during those breaks one should attend to their physical needs and often it is important to re-motivate oneself. You should carry out work for about an hour after which you take a break of between twelve to fifteen minutes. If you find yourself still awake, use that time to visit the wash room or take a glass of water or even have a snack or even close your eyes for some time. Do not use it for texting someone or to check a program guide for what is on TV tonight. The more one derails one’s thoughts, the harder it will become to bring them back on track. It should be understood that the majority of people is capable to concentrate only during an hour or an hour at most. One can self-sabotage after this point because you can end up making errors or miss something important if you continue working.If possible, take a brisk walk or some light stretching during the breaks so that your blood circulation does not stall. This can assist you to keep your mind fresh and not to lag behind when one wants to resume with the activities in question.
