Stop Multi-Tasking
Multi-tasking rarely produces the best results.
By focusing on just one task at a time, you will complete it to a higher standard and in less time, enabling you to move seamlessly on to the next task.

Limit Distractions
Focus doesn't always come naturally. However, it is a skill that can be developed.

Do the Hardest Thing First
