Focus

I am having the worst time trying to concentrate and get down to business.

It was happening before the election - I suppose I was hoping that now that the election is over, maybe I can start focusing again.

If anyone has any tips on fighting procrastination - I'm all ears. Everything seems to be more interesting than what I'm supposed to be working on.

Even my usual tip - as long as you're working on something you have to, doesn't matter what it is - isn't helping.

Me, so I'm no help. Sorry! There are just certain times during the year that it takes an impending deadline for me to get anything accomplished. Even then I have to FORCE myself.

I have no tips either, I am the queen of procrastination. It usually takes immense pressure, maybe threats of impending doom for me to accomplish undesirable tasks. Or extreme boredom, which rarely happens.

I'm such a procrastinator. Ugh. I'm convinced it's because we're asked to do such dead-boring work from day to day.

Normally, to combat my bad habits, I force myself to shut the internet entirely for an hour at a time and JUST FORCE MYSELF to do something. It's a teeth-gritting exercise, for sure. But I also find that after a few minutes, I get into a rhythm of a task and then want to finish it.

Then I open the internet again and have at it. ;-)
