easier to read so your eyes don’t have to work too hard. Your computer
screen should be about an arm’s length away from you when working,
and the center of your screen should be a few inches below your eye
level so you’re looking down slightly.

When you’re using a mobile device, remember your ergonomics as well.
Most of us hold our mobile devices too close, making our eyes work
harder to focus.

Every day, we face distractions. We fight to focus. We fight just to get
the time we need to do our most important work, rather than replying
to emails or shuffling papers all day long.

Everywhere you look, someone—or something—is competing for your
attention. And though most of us are loathe to part with our money
unless it’s for a very good cause, we don’t protect our time and
attention in the same way.

Don’t let others decide where and how you spend your time and
attention, or they will, and you’ll be left with only what’s left over when
everyone else has taken what they want.

Your time and attention are two of your most precious resources, and
you need to treat them that way if you want to do more meaningful
work.

There’s a lot to untangle when it comes to finding time and focus for
meaningful work, and overcoming the pull of distractions. Take it one
step at a time, and rest assured those small changes will eventually
add up to a more calm, focused workday.
