Assign and track your timings
It is a crucial part of being productive. If I say focusing doesn’t mean getting into your work so much that you pour all of your attention to do work without seeing the clock, I am not wrong.

Maintaining discipline on the work table in your office makes you work with interest. It’s not a JOKE; most productive personalities are the most disciplined ones.
First of all, make sections, and for this, reduce the paper count. Discard all the extra paper that is out of date or not essential to be in your closet.
Start from small. Don’t wipe out the table in excitement to remove all the distractions. See your drawer first and then small cabinets. Starting from little can help you do the large piles relatively quickly.
Okay, when you are done with drawers, set your laptop or system you work on neatly. Make sure that wires are hidden because they can create a huge mess. Manage your cables, flash if any, and clippers aside.
Section out each thing with labels. Apply the same rule to your files inside your laptop. It can help you a lot to become productive enough without getting distracted.
