Focus

As my projects demand me to become more technical and go into heads down build mode, I find that there is a paradigm shift that happens within me to help me focus and be productive. I enter into a “meditative like” state where I block everything out and just focus on the dev work/task ahead. Here are a few things that I do in particular to help me out with this:

• Workout in the morning
• Go to a quiet place outside of my house if I can
• Keep water right by me
• Have a clear schedule
• Pomodoro sessions
• Clearly establish what I need to work on for each session
• Self-Control mode on
• Meditate/visualize for 2 mins before starting work and allow myself to believe

What are your favourite ways to get in the zone? :)
