Start learning to work in 15 minute increments. Believe it or not, you can get a lot done in this short period of time when all of your focus for this 15 minutes is on your work. Then, after 15 minutes, take three to five minutes for a break and then back to your next 15 minute interval. This method helps to prevent issues like procrastination so that you are getting things done that normally took you twice as long.

Use a Timer for 15 Minutes of Uninterrupted Work

You want to make sure that your intervals are timed properly, so use a timer to make this possible. A simple timer that dings once the time is up is all that you need. You can even set an alarm on your cellphone so that there is no reason to add something else to your desk top. Just make sure to set each session for exactly 15 minutes and do not try and take a break until the full 15 minutes expires.

Keep a Clean and Organized Desk

A cluttered workspace is a surefire way to make it harder to concentrate and get work done. Your desk should only be home to your strict essentials. Keep all of your decorative items and things you do not use regularly elsewhere in your office so that these items are not distracting you. At the beginning and end of each day, take the time to remove things from your desk so that you can go the entire day with a clean and clutter-free workspace.

Bright lights keep you awake and alert, allowing you to maintain your energy throughout the day. If you are working on a bright, sunny day, take advantage of this and open up the blinds and curtains so that the natural light can shine in. If you are working at night, use a bright light that does not allow you to start feeling drowsy because drowsiness will start to kill your ability to be productive.

Focus on a Single Task at One Time

When you are working, make a list of your tasks and then check them off one at a time. When you are working in a single task at a time, you will find that you have greater focus and this makes it a lot easier to get things done. Avoid breaking your concentration and focus to go back and forth between tasks because this slows you down and can hinder motivation.

Using even just one will have a solid impact on how long it takes you to get things completed. Start by using just one so that you can slowly get used to making changes in how you do your work.
