How to Extend the Day

Tip #5: Learn to work efficiently. Scattered attention and the inability to focus on anything without getting distracted are reasons for inefficiency at work. By working unproductively, you will take twice as long to complete the same task. Why force yourself to struggle over the same thing for longer when you can simply concentrate all your efforts and solve the problem quickly, politely explaining to colleagues that you are busy and cannot be distracted by chit-chat. Break down a difficult task into smaller ones – this will help you not to shy away from it.
