Here are 18 Ways to Stay Focused at Work. Simple and straightforward. One thing I’ve noticed though, a lot of these “how to”s really focus on IT oriented jobs, I mean it’s all about email, IM, listening to music (which assumes you’ll be sitting in front of a computer) and use shortcuts for frequently used programs. Is it because IT people tend to have problem focusing? Or is it because most jobs nowadays involve computers?

Something to think about.
