Your distractions have intensified during this new time. If you're struggling, these tips can help.
When you tell yourself the steps for doing a task, your focus often follows suit. If you’re writing a check and your attention wavers because you wrote the wrong date or the wrong amount, make a little checklist and say to yourself, “OK, the date is so-and so. Got it.” “I should make the check out to xx. Good. Done.” And keep telling yourself to do one little task after another.
It is one experience, not an evaluation of your worth as a person.Positive assertiveness wards off unnecessary interruptions. Place a sign on your desk at work or at home that reads, “Genius at work. Please leave me a note.” It’s necessary to tell a boss or family member when you need to have quiet time to think, even if it’s for 15 minutes. Assert your right for a quiet, protected, and distraction-free setting.
