Ways To Stay Focus In An Open Plan Office

There are some ways which I explain to you which will help you to concentrate on your work in an open-plan office. 

Use headphones to stay focused.

I read so many articles to find the ways how to stay focus in any open-plan office, and I found most of the materials are telling the same point, every blog has one standard tip, yes you think right which is about headphones. 

They all are talking about the same thing that if you are unable to stay focus on your work then use your headphones and listen to some good song that gives you peace,

And it doesn’t mean only headphones you have to use headphones even you can use earbuds, earphones, etc. 

If the noise is high around you and you are not able to stay focus on the work, then just try one thing which is going for a walk with any of your colleagues or seniors or alone and only takes a breath, when you feel relaxed, come again try to concentrate on your work. 

Sit separately

If you have a time limit to complete the work before the time or you want to work privately, and you are not able to stay focus on your work then, 

This tip will become beneficial for you. Just find some private desk to sit separately instead of sitting with colleagues in a group or the same office where you sit commonly ignore that desk. 

If you want to find a separate desk or private space for your work, then I have some ideas. 

You can use the lunch area for your work, and you can go to the terrace, or on a different floor, etc. Are useful places where you can go if you can’t find any separate desk. 

Switch ON the silent mode of your phone during working hours

All we know is that the mobile phone is becoming an essential part of our life, but we can’t ignore that most people are wasting their time on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, etc.

And This is the reason that people can’t concentrate on their work. So this is the one more tip which is very useful for you

when you are doing work just switch on the silent mode on your phone or if you want to switch off your phone you can do it. 

Start ‘Saying No’ when it is essential.

This tip is essential and saves so much time of yours if you want to keep your time instead of spending time on useless things like gossiping with friends, scrolling social media, etc. 

Then you have to start saying No because if you are busy making your work and anyone requests you to do their job or help them, or any other work,

Then it is also a waste of time. And it takes more time to complete your task. Just start saying No if you are busy, and if you have time, then you can say yes. 

Use break alarms for freshness

Every person needs a break in their work it doesn’t matter about what the layout or design the office have, no one can work continuously for long, this tip will help you how you can take a break when you are doing your work,

you can set the alarm on your phone according to your suitability or time difference and take a break, and you can do something like a walk, drink coffee, juice, etc. 

Use writing to contact colleagues instead of verbal communication.

As we discussed in the above section, you should avoid the phone when you are busy completing your work,

and if you need to send some files to your colleagues or seniors or bosses, then you can use email for it,

That is the tip which I will suggest to you. Because if you use your phone, maybe you will open your other social media, which is a great distraction. 

Create boundaries on working time

If you are serious about your work or completing it before the fixed time, then you have to create some boundaries,

or you can say some rules for you which help you to stay in discipline, That is the tip about your practices which you create to apply to you. 

All the tips which I discussed in the above section are the boundaries or rules that you create for yourself so you can complete your work on time. 

These are some tips that are helpful for you to stay focused in an open plan office, and you perform more effectively and can be concentrated on your work.
