To regain focus, I usually take a short walk or meditate for a few minutes; it helps clear my mind and reset my concentration. Implementing a timer for structured work and break intervals, like the Pomodoro Technique, has also proven effective for maintaining sustained focus.
Productivity apps like Forest have helped me a lot too. However, if I'm really struggling to focus, a 10-minute walk usually does the trick for me. What about you, @ruben_boonz? :)
Take a short break, write down to-do plan again, and focus solely on completing it.
I have my own 99:99 method! :) I get on my treadmill and work while walking. Weirdly, being physically active helps my brain focus on tasks. I know that I am time-limited to 99:99 — this is how long my treadmill can go uninterrupted. So, during the day, I do two sessions like this, walking 13 km as a result, and in between, I plan for them and have meetings.

When I lose focus, I find it helpful to take a short walk or meditate for a few minutes to clear my mind. This brief break allows me to return to work with renewed energy and perspective.
Def hard to do and I haven't mastered it yet. That's why I opt to optimize my day by scheduling the most crucial To-Dos when I am the most focused - In the morning as I am an Early bird. This has been critical in tackling my To-Do list ahead of our launch this Monday
I usually take a short break, stretch, or listen to music. It helps me recharge and get back on track

Take a quick facewash, hydrate myself, and put on music

If you lose focus, its time to find something more engaging todo
Have been using this technique of controlling your breath cycle. Breathing in for 4 seconds, holding it in for 4 more and releasing it for the next 4 seconds.
It has helped me in pressure situations or to get back to work if I'm lacking focus.
100/100 recommend to try it out!
I rest a little and then just keep doing my job. You need to lose focus a little bit (I think)
Maybe a bit weird but I either remind myself that I want to be able to spoil my mom in the future, or watch vids of people telling me to get off my ass.
Short walk always helps too.
A 3-5 minute streching routine and deep breathing usually do the work for me :)
