Focus

[Julie Thompson]

Hi,

I work some weekends on my business at home, i find that despite setting a schedule i find my focus lacking. I have obsessive thoughts worrying about different topics while working and this sometimes affects my productivity.

I wondered if we all had days where are motivation or productivity lacks compared to other days? What do you people do to stop obsessive thinking and staying focused on the task at hand? It really can be a big distraction the mind, when i need to focus on a set goal it really can be frustrating.

Do something you love and/or that scares you every day.

Push yourself in some way.

then realise, and get things in perspective x

It's tough, I worked from home for 6 years. I am easily distracted by nature. I find ultimately good routine helps and reward plans... Do so much work have a reward!

Keep a pen and paper by where you work. When you lose focus write down what you moved onto.
Then return to your focus.

Eventually you have pages of stuff and the job is complete. And may get a 'to do' list out of the writing

+1 to this. All that stuff in your brain distracting you... get it out of your brain onto a list. Then you won't be worrying about forgetting it and can get back to what you are doing.
