336. Distractions: Write about how it feels when you can’t focus.
When I have too much to do, I make a list of all tasks but then I can’t focus on doing any of them. When the anxiety of not accomplishing anything is too much pressure, I’m motivated to make a plan. One of my “house-wife tricks” is to pick one item and set the timer for 15 minutes. I then don’t even think about the task and do it until the alarm rings. I leave whatever task that was and move onto another 15 minute interval for a different task. Another trick is to go into a room and complete 1 task needs to be completed in that room for 15 minutes and just move room to room in time intervals. The external boundary of time helps focus my brain on one thing thing.
