Take breaks.
Sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time can be tiring, so make sure you take regular breaks. Stand up, stretch, and take a walk around your home. Increasing circulation to your limbs and organs. This will help you stay refreshed and focused. -
Prioritise your tasks.
Make a list of the tasks you need to accomplish each day, and prioritise them. Tackle the most important tasks first, and work your way down the list. This will help you stay on track and keep you from getting overwhelmed. If you have an additional monitor or notice board it can be good practice to keep the task list visible at all times, that way if you get distracted a quick glance can help put you back on track. -
