Meditation is a really helpful practice for improving focus. If you can learn to cut out the noise of your own mind and be in the present moment, it'll help your focus immensely.

It takes practice and some days can be harder than others, but the more you do it, the quicker you'll be able to turn it on and center yourself!

  1. Find a quite place
  2. Close all external tabs that won't be needed in the coding section.
  3. Get resources like water and coffee if you like.
  4. Partition time and include breaks to refresh the brain.
