How to prioritise and keep focused at work

With everything going on, it can be hard to keep focused.

By organising your brain to focus on just the key priorities, it will help you be more productive and be able to meet your goals at work faster and more effectively, without distraction.

We all know making lists is useful to keep track of ever-growing responsibilities, but there’s nothing more de-motivating than a list as long as your forearm - it’s daunting and can seem unachievable.

What you need to do is go one step further and do 5 @ 5.

5 @ 5 is a super simple, yet effective tool you can use to help prioritise tasks and keep focused on a day by day basis.

How it works is, five minutes before you finish up for the day, whether you’re working from home or in the office, take 5 minutes to write down on a post it note, your top 5 prioritised tasks that you will work on the next day.

By breaking down your list into manageable chunks, your brain can focus on what’s important without distraction and you can come in the next day prepared and ready to hit the ground running on your top 5 priorities.
