2.MINIMIZE DISTRACTION

In other to focus on one task at a time you have to minimize distraction, you do not need to answer all your notification, calls or emails immediately expect it's your job.
For you to be more productive you have to rid of unnecessary noise turn those notification off, stop checking Facebook and other social media every 20 minutes.
The internet is a lifesaver, but it's also one of the greatest killer productivity to put your phone on do not disturb mode while working and be amazed at the much work you covered when you are focus.

3.SET SMART GOALS

For your goals to be more effective, you must have a
Specific goal - your goal must be clear and well defined

Measurable goal- set exact amount, date on your goal so you can measure the degree of your success. It can be either a long or a short term goal.

Achievable goal- set goal that is possible to achieve. If you set goals you know you can not achieve you will end up disceiving yourself.

Relevant goal- set your goals in the direction you want your life and career to take so that you will focus and what you want and how to achieve it.

Time bound - your goals should be grounded within a time frame. Without time limit tired to it there will be no sense of urgency.
