How long can you maintain focus?
If you can achieve 1.5 hours of clear and non-distracted work, you’re doing very well.
For the average person, focus starts to decrease after around 45 minutes.
Most of us have full calendars with meetings and tasks scheduled back to back.
To ensure you remain productive and energised throughout the day, it’s essential to schedule breaks into your diary. These don’t have to be long, as it’s been proven that even a short 2-3 minute pause can be effective in regathering your attention.
A quick stretch or a walk to the kitchen for a cup of tea could be just the refresh you need.
