Use a Count Down Timer
Using a countdown timer can benefit your time management and concentration skills. Next time you are finding it difficult to concentrate at work, set a countdown timer for 10 minutes and focus on doing as much work as possible before it rings.
If you get on well and maintain your concentration for the 10 minutes, set it for 12 minutes next time and keep increasing the duration by 2 minutes until you find your concentration waning. If you find it difficult to focus, during the allocated time reduce the duration by 2 minutes.
You will find a simple countdown timer on many watches and mobile phones. Alternatively, you can find a useful online countdown timer here.
