My Focus list

Every few months I hit a mental low point and when that happens I tend to make lists and design new strategies for how I am going to get my life back in order and achieve my ideal state of being. Needless to say I hardly ever achieve the desired result hence I’m sitting here doing it again today

I’d love to say this will be the last time and assure myself and the world that this is it! That after today my life will be what I want it to be but to be completely honest I have no idea, all I can do is hope this time it works and do my best to make it work

So instead of a set out list of achievements I am rather going to make a list of the things that will help me to be more productive, things that help me to maintain focus.

White noise and instrumental music (when I need to think deeply, process information and come up with new ideas)
Pop and RnB music (for work that doesn’t need my mental skills)
Put away my phone (far away cause it’s distracting)
Organising and planning makes me focus for some weird reason because it sometimes keeps me from getting actual work done, so ironic right – but I can use it to regain focus when I lose it
Taking a nap can help me focus if I’m careful to put my phone away while I take the nap
Reading a novel, I can give myself a set amount of time which I can take to read then the rest needs to be productive.
Writing in my journal or on my blog or anywhere else I can really writing helps me focus when I’m not having a writers block

I think this list is as comprehensive a list as I could ever come up with, now I just need to put it to work. I’m gonna try and when I hit my next bottom I’ll come back and write a follow up article….. hahaha

Love you for reading this!!!
