Many times it happens with us that we get into an argument with someone and it spoils our entire day. It takes up a lot of our mental space and we cannot focus on any work. Well, you can use the box technique at that time, used by psychologists and neurologists to bring back focus to your work. Step 1: Take deep breaths. Step 2: Imagine that person in a small glass box in your mind. That person is trying to say something to you, but you just cannot hear anything. Step 3: Once you can start smiling at the person, open your eyes and get back to work. You will definitely be able to feel an upliftment in your mood, and you can focus on your productive task more. Try it.
