I have a ton of work to finish. I keep saying that, hoping my brain actually registers the work I need to start doing. But honestly, I have been working. The trouble is getting started. I take a long while to put my hands to the plough, and to have myself running in the direction of “Work”.
As much as keyboards were my most expensive hobby, I think the daily routine of picking a keyboard to work with for the day actually made me a lot more aware and conscious of the work I needed to do. It was a clear mental indicator for me to start work. Also because by the time I finished deciding which keyboard I was using, there would be a sufficient amount of time passed, which pushed me intentionally to start. The lag made me feel the need to actually do work.
Anyway, I’m saying all this because one of the worst habits I have is my lack of attention and focus. There are so many times when I’ve started something only not to finish it, and it just lies around in an unfinished mess in my computer desktops.
I try to accomodate my distractions by having multiple computers, so if my attention fades I hop onto another computer and I can focus again. It’s just that sometimes, when I hop on, I’m off track. And then I need to reset and realign to work once more.
Writing helps me focus, that’s for sure. So writing here is helpful. and also I clear a post, so win win.
I have work to clear today, so I feel like I hammered enough words on my keyboard today. Will start again now. (This is my 3rd hour back at home to work, and I’ve worked on three projects since. I just can’t focus on one main one to finish. It is quite frustrating. Maybe I do have ADHD.)
