During these times of Coronavirus<\/a>, when you’re working from home<\/a> and adapting to your new surroundings, keeping your focus in check<\/a> can be difficult. More so when it comes to meetings with a client or your team. What used to be a personal affair, has now become a virtual call with various hiccups. It can be straining on your eyes, and weak internet or technical difficulties can cause unnecessary problems too. You may often find your attention drifting from place to place while the meeting goes on just like the screens jump when a new person starts to speak. 
<\/p>\n\n\n

Yes, they can be very long sometimes and you may not be comfortable with the medium, but following these simple tips will help you better your focus.
