focus

I struggle to focus on a regular basis despite medication. I want to study harder but struggle to focus on it. I see others do this effortlessly and wonder if there is something wrong with me.

I’m sure if I focus on ONE thing at a time, instead of multi-tasking (unless multitasking really WAS appropriate and maybe even helped), then I might get more done. I find that I can be a bit scatterbrained, then if I jump from thing to thing and/or procrastinate….. well I end up being even more scatterbrained! I’ll try and focus! Can I do it?

Focus on ONE THING! Right now, it’s phone pictures onto PC..... not distraction to, let’s say, a sudoku puzzle (seriously I brought the book down and almost jumped to doing it – don’t know why – but then thought NO I’m doing this right now. Haha, see what I mean??).

Why is this so hard? What do you all do to keep your motivation?

I have been at work for about a hour now.
I walk in, go to my cell desk, turn on computer, while that warms up I put the tea in the tea pot, walk over to the coffee machine, put hot water into tea pot, walk back to said cell desk. I talk to my coworker about problems from previous day, fix my breakfast, look at emails while eating my breakfast, pour my tea, text back and forth with Em, check out what has been going on around 43T since I was here yesterday… might be time to do a bit a work. Keyword = might

keep my shoulders from rising to ear level.

^{Some that sounds easy, huh?}

I took me some time to get from vacation into action/working mode but I am there now and it’s a great place to be! Totally worth the effort and determination!

Don’t get me wrong here, being open to all types of opportunities has served me very well so far and I’ve been very fortunate to do a load of things and visit a load of places. But I’ve become lazy and complacent. All my other goals will come back to this one. It might take a while to achieve!

So, I listened to this from FlyLady (Focus makes me fabulous!), it lasts for 15 minutes and while it was on I wrote some of my diary. I think it did help to make me think, “I’m going to get my diary and write it”. I really do need to focus more often, FlyLady is right – we always try and go in 10 different directions, but babysteps, just focus on one thing for 15 minutes and it’ll be better!

I am commiting myself to keep focus on what I should be doing! Not being sidetracked and losing my way in what I know is important.
Its another start. :)
