Focusing

Focusing can be simple.

• When you have an idea, quickly write it down.
• When you feel yourself drifting off, remind yourself of it. Say in your head “drifting”, then pull yourself back.
• Write your current task on a piece of paper in front of you. Leave it there until it’s done.
• Listening to fast music works. Pantera works.
• Stop chatting about bullshit to people.
• Stop listening to other people chatting about bullshit to people.
• Put your phone face down on the table. Turn it on silent.
• Even better, throw your phone in another room or out of the window.
• Don’t look at your email.
• Concentrate.
