The Secret to Productivity: Focus

Technology has helped us do so much more, so much faster. But many experts argue that work-related systems and tools haven’t necessarily made us more productive.

Turn off notifications including the ringer on your phone. Wear headphones. Keep your work area organized based on how you work. Related:
