Also, with breaks between activities to get a relaxed and renewed energy during your day.

That is, it aims to evaluate and give an opinion on the performance of a task, for example. And that way, it doesn't just focus on the result, but on performance. Scoring up the positive and negative points about what was done.
However, always with the intention of learning lessons for the next tasks or actions. So much continuing to work on the things that worked out. As for finding points that need to be improved as well.
Then, provide feedback to your team. Cherish the positive points of what has been done. At the same time, point out what can be improved as well.
However, do this very carefully. And not randomly or impulsively. Likewise, ask for feedback from your managers, co-workers, customers, partners, anyway.
This will help you a lot to understand what is working and what can be improved as well. 11. ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS A very important point that is certainly one of the main reasons for taking us out of focus are the small distractions of our day-to-day.
For example: social networks, television, cell phones, messages, parallel conversations, anyway. Try to understand those little habits that distract us and that we don't even realize are disturbing our focus. Believe me: understanding and seeing these details will make you eliminate these distractions and increase your focus even more.
12. GET AWAY FROM PROCRASTINATION In short, procrastinating is a behavior to postpone something we have to resolve, but leave it to deal with later or at another time. That is, everything you can do now, but put off for some reason, means procrastinating.
By procrastinating, instead of working on important and meaningful tasks, you find yourself doing other activities that may not be as valuable. In other words, it's failing to focus where it really matters. Without a doubt, procrastination is one of the worst enemies of productivity.
