How do you focus?
I know I have ADD, but this is crazy! How do you get yourself focused? Hopefully you can give me some good suggestions. Thanks! |

Re-entry is tough!  Something that works for me is to START to catch up by doing the most enjoyable task first and not letting my self stop until it is completed.
Generally I try to do the least favorite first to get it out of the way--but when trying to re-start or get back into a good routine I reverse it. Also I will 'time-block' say work really hard on something for 1 hour and then 'reward' myself with a distraction for a few minutes--then start again. Hope this helps!  |
| Well, I figure the first day back from vacation is a lost cause. I spend that day going through the mail and organizing work into piles. That's about it. Nothing complicated or that requires a lot of thought.
And when you start back working, start with the most objectionable task. That way you can feel smug when it's done. The worst is out of the way. Then have a cookie. |
mmmm......cookie  |
Don't focus on work, focus on me!  |

You got it!!!!!!!  |
Prioritise workload, then reward with coffee, put the pile in front of you and just get on with it, put your phone on answerphone, then when its time to go home you put your feet up with a large glass of wine and have the dogs up on the sofa for cuddles - perfect  |
| I suppose I should also get off the internet, huh? |
mmmmm I was going to say, get off here  |

So, have you been able to focus on anything yet?  |
| It's getting better. I finished the biggest, boringest project, and a small one. I'm tackling another one now. My goal is to finish it by the end of the day. When I got back from vacation, I had a resignation letter on my desk from one of my employees who has worked here for almost 10 years. So, I've been hustling reallocating her duties (the lion's share has fallen on me). With the economy as it is, we can't put on another person, since few of us are really busy as it is. I only had 4 days notice from her since I didn't receive it until Tuesday. I've sorta been in a tailspin and overwhelmed with that and the work I had to catch up on from my vaca. When you get that backed up and challenged, it's very hard to get started, but I think I have my wits about me again. Thanks. |
