9.Recharge
If you find yourself in hyperfocus, ask yourself: Is what I’m doing useful? If you answer no, it’s time to move on. But it can be hard to break your focus. Wiggle your body to redirect your brain. Do a few pushups, go for a walk, or just brush your teeth. Changing locations can also help, so go to another room.
10.Track Yourself
Before you start on a project, decide how long you want to spend on it. Then set an alarm as a reminder to stop. You can also ask a family member or friend to check in. After you go into hyperfocus mode, your brain takes a while to change gears. If you have something to do, build an extra 15 minutes into your schedule for transition time.
