Sometimes this is all I want to do
It’s now been almost two weeks since we sold our car and new routines are finally starting to set in for me. If you know me you know that I hate mornings, especially when I have to wake up early. My wife has always started work two hours before me and now we are both getting up earlier.
I keep thinking that I can just take a nap at my mom’s house or at my desk at work, but I’m beginning to think that is not the best idea for me. Not only would that make me more tired throughout the day, but I’d be (and have been) missing out on a lot of time that I could be spending on more productive things like reading, writing, studying, or playing my guitar.
Even when I’m trying to be productive, I get so easily distracted. For example: I’ve been writing this post for 45 minutes. Something as short as this should only take about five minutes to write. I’m hoping that as I get used to these early hours, I will begin to develop better skills in avoiding or getting past distractions.
Hey Tony, you’re so not alone in the focus department!! I was just chatting with a friend of mine today about how he struggles to get things done, simple because of all the things that try to take his time (or more so his head space). I happen to read a great article by Michael Hyatt on this which I think was of help to him and may be helpful to you. Here’s the link; http://michaelhyatt.com/who-else-needs-more-mental-focus.html
I think #5 and #10 would be a major help to me. Thanks Rich!
