Set a timer: break big projects into smaller chunks! This can help it be less overwhelming. Set a timer for 20 minutes and have them work for that long; then when timer goes off they get 20 minutes of free time!
Be Honest With Yourself: Know what distracts you and avoid them until task is complete!
Write it Down: Don't say you'll remember it, but actually write things down in a centralized location to help you remember later!
Be Wise with Technology: Use it as a tool to help not as a tool to distract!
Create a Routine: Routine allows for less of a chance to make a mistake, and to manage time the best!
