Sounds obvious, but it makes a difference:
Block time
Create time blocks – these could be as little as 10 mins, and 30 mins works for many people
A block of time to focus on one task.
Don’t scroll, open multiple windows, or leave that task until it’s done or your time block is up.
Some use fun timers to assist them.
Next periodically create a longer time block for “slow time” or going deeper.
This may be a longer period of writing or studying something, or extended conversation over coffee, tea, lunch, or on a long walk.
It could also be unplugging and reading an actual book, going for a walk without media, or lying back and watching the stars at night.
Speaking of walking – taking a quick walk around the block can be a great way to “reset” if you have gotten distracted or just find your energy and focus running low.
I find I gain a lot of clarity and fresh ideas while walking, and it makes me much more productive and centered than if I hadn’t stepped away.
When do you find yourself most easily distracted, and what’s been your biggest way to cope so far?
