What I Do When I Can’t Focus

20 March 2023

Do you struggle to finish your tasks? Are you always
distracted by notifications, gossiping, or anything that’s
random? In that case, you and I are alike. Because focusing
on a single thing is one of the hardest things at work.
There’s always something that interrupts you, right?
Another person
A call
A meeting
A false emergency
Your cat
A stranger’s cat
News about last night’s NBA game
Sure, you can blame those things — but that’s weak. You
and I both know that those things can’t interrupt you
without your permission. That means every time you’re not
focused; you’re giving someone or something permission to
enter your mind. Scary, isn’t it?
That’s how I look at interruptions. But I have to admit that I
can’t maintain my focus all the time. Sometimes, I give in.
It’s not good. Your life doesn’t benefit from gossiping,
looking at Instagram 439 times a day, watching 49 YouTube
videos, and reading negative news articles. So, what can
you do to improve your focus? Here are 2 things that I
always do when I find myself not being able to focus on
what matters.
