i was finding it hard to focus this past week, jumping from socials to socials, distraction to distraction.
getting to the end of the week and you decide to get serious, it hit me that i was relying on feeling like i need to focus, i didn’t realize earlier.
focus is a mindset.
took me a while to get my shit together but that’s what i understood, focusing on word you need to do is a frame of mind.
it’s you cutting out the daydreaming and looking at your life critically.
what i did was looked at all the amazing stuff i have the opportunity to create and the people that i impact from my work.
it was a profound realization, enough to make you lock in.
just like i wrote about productivity, it’s not about working 8 hours straight but having short bursts of productive moments throughout the day.
i woke up today and turned on my laptop, chilled for a bit, pulled up the podcast i wanted to edit, while doing that i was working on the artwork, took three short breaks in-between this period, did some programming, took a break, did some extracurricular activities and i’m back to write this. i didn’t do 8 hours work but i did accomplish all my tasks for the day.
sometimes during breaks i relax, i try not to doom-scroll so i play games, nothing stressful, killing a few people on Call of Duty replenishes my energy ;)
remember it’s not about feeling like you need to focus but the frame of mind you need to be in.
visualize your goals and destination, it helps.
