Tips for Improving your Focus

1. Set yourself some goals at the start of the day – and make sure they are goals that are reasonable. Then check off each item, and keep going till the end.

2. Make sure you take plenty of regular breaks as these will increase your productivity. We can focus for around 20 minutes at a time - and then we need to get up and walk around.

3. Break larger tasks into lots of smaller tasks. That way you will receive constant reinforcement for making some progress, and finishing some tasks.

4. Use offline tools such as paper and pen as they make it easier to stick with the plan and to not get distracted by online stuff.

5. Notice the times when you tend to feel tired - then plan your breaks for around those times.

6. Give yourself some deadlines as these focus the mind, and give us something concrete to work towards.

I hate astronomers. On arxiv someone has named their paper "an FBR sent me a DM", where FBR is fast radio burst and DM is dispersion measure.
