Default Strategy for Focusing, Concentration w PCS

I know we all have it.

What are some of the ways that help you with this especially if you're back at work?

So far, I've done these things:

1. Take frequent, longer rest breaks;
2. Don't read anything too long (emails, posts, articles);
3. Stay on subject/be direct when in meetings to reduce cognitive load;
4. Listen to pleasant music (Tori Amos is my choice) while working to drown out noise;
5. Change your environment (removing noisy machinery like copiers and printers from your vicinity);
6. Do only one major thing a day or space them out over a few days;
7. Let your coworkers know what's going on so they can accommodate you.
