i get up and take a walk around the office at least every hour. 3-4 times per day, i turn this into a walk around the block outside. 8 hours of continuous laser focus is overrated.
I make a to do list every morning.
Phone goes in the drawer.
I take at least 30 minute lunch away from my work space. Every day and at the same time.
Schedule meetings and calls after 10. Actually since I begin my workday between 6 and 6:30 am, I have a lot of time to prepare. Reports run and emails cleared before anyone else gets in. By 8 many things are already off my to do list.
I keep high protein snacks at my drsk for mid morning cravings. Cheese sticks and almonds work great. Keeps me focused.
Leave office at 4pm. Home, dinner and back online to wrap things up.
Works great until it doesn't.
Adderall
Work out in the morning
Eat a clean and healthy diet. Don't give in to the audit room snacks
Put down your phone
Smoke crack. Works for me. Now I’m a partner
Set mini goals with each task and don't let yourself lose focus until you meet those mini milestones. Knowing there's these breaks helps you focus when you're working on the task
hold up pwc 3 - 6:30am to 4pm minus half an hour lunch is already 9 hours. and then you get back to more work from home in the evening? we do not get compensated enough for that. and that just does not sound sustainable year round.
^You may think that's a joke, but it's true. Also, start learning to meditate.
Enjoy what you do
I can focus for about 40 seconds a day, with adderal
Pwc1 do you still work at PWC? 9 hours a day is the standard sometimes. I end up in the 10-13 hour days normally. What group are you in? Maybe I’m in the wrong group lol
Lol where do you get adderral? Do you guys get prescription or just thru someone you know? Legit question
Nicotine in whatever form also increases mental stamina. In a not smoking form it increases productivity. If you're smoking it probably becomes a wash except for the fact that it gives you a break from work to clear your mind.
It all just sounds miserable
Adderall to get up and Xanex to go to sleep
My secret was treating mental illness so depression wasn't fucking my focus up, but that probably won't help most people. I listen to audiobooks when I work, and don't let myself read them otherwise, so it helps me focus on work because I can only listen if I'm working. Makes the hours more bearable too. Sometimes I stay later than planned because I don't want to leave in the middle of an arc etc
Meditate, stress management tactics
Know when to keep at it and when you need a break. Sometimes im working on something but maming good steady progress and 4 or 5 hours will just fly by. Other times, I go 30 minutes before I have to break away from whatever it is. Get a drink, chat with someone, browse the web for a bit, ect.
It just depends on you and what kinds of things can maintain your interest.
