Having a hard time focusing on your projects? Procrastinating? Here are tips and tricks on how to help you focus better on your work and make the most of your time.

It's 3 pm, you sit down to finish that last mix before you wrap up and head out for dinner, 10 minutes in you look up at the clock, it's 3:10, another 10 minutes go by, it's 3:20 what FEELS like another 10 minutes go by, it's 5:30, you need to be at dinner by six and your last two hours have been a mishap of poor focus, procrastinating and not being clear of mind.
