How to stay focused while working from home
Live MintNow that many employees are deep into working from home, and may have to keep doing so indefinitely, some are finding it harder to maintain the intense concentration that kicked in during the early days of forced remote work. “If there is distracting noise, white noise may help to reduce this distraction,” said Kenneth M.
