I have found that unplugging–turning my phone off or using an app such as Forest app–has allowed me to maintain a laser- focus as I work on the task at hand.
I have found that unplugging–turning my phone off or using an app such as Forest app–has allowed me to maintain a laser- focus as I work on the task at hand. I also make ample amount of coffee or tea so that I won’t leave my desk (I’m one of those who seeks snacks and makes more coffee as a way to fuel my anxiety-driven procrastination). I’ve known friends and colleagues who turn off their WiFi. While disconnecting from the source is a brilliant idea, this method has never worked for me. I like to be able to do some research as I write so what I do is to log out of all my social media accounts, which works like a charm. So, try unplugging and be kind to yourself.
