  Hey there, friend! Your distractable tendencies make you great at multitasking and hyperfocusing on projects. The trick is staying in that zone of focus long enough to get stuff done.Like a truly distracted human, you may have simply been trained to have a short attention span. As weird as it sounds, spending a lot of time on Social Media or watching TV can shorten your ability to focus. Think about it. Constantly scrolling, fast music, never a moment to take a breath. You get used to this, then try to focus on a long-term task and your brain fails you.“If you wait for things to be perfect, you walk away with nothing. Just jump in and get started.” —Attributed to Jennifer Ritchie Payette3 Tips to Kick Distractions to the Curb1. Eliminate immediate distractions. Social media, petting your dog, the 7 million things on your to-do list…there’s always something more interesting trying to steal your attention. Don’t let it! Put your phone on “do not disturb” and move your workspace to a different room. Don’t let anything get in your way!2. Find out why you’re so easily distracted. Time for some self-reflection. Don’t be afraid to go deep! If your distractibility stems from a deeper issue, it’s important to identify and address the problem so you can move forward into the land of high productivity.3. Gradually increase your attention span. Time yourself to see how long you can work productively before a distraction pulls you away. Then, whenever you sit down to work, set a timer for that length of time and work until it rings. Take a break once the timer goes off.If something really distracting comes up during your work time, write it down and choose to focus on it during your break.Over time, add minutes to your worktime timer. You could find yourself able to focus for up to 90 minutes before you need a break. You’ll gain self-control when distractions come up and be way more productive!Hi👋, I’m Josiah Hart!

  Hey there, friend! Your multitasking skills are on point. Your mind is going a million miles an hour. You’ve got places to go and things to do, after all!Whether you’ve bitten off more than you can chew at work, you’re a busy parent, your to-do list is 9 miles long, or you simply can’t slow your brain down enough to focus on just one task. You’ve been bit by the multitasking bug.Research shows that if we’re constantly multitasking, we lose the ability to tune out the rest of the world and engage in deeper processing and learning.However, multitasking isn’t all bad. Juggling one or two small tasks at a time can help you get done what you want to do. Such as listening to an audiobook and cooking dinner. Or chatting on the phone with your friend and organizing the hall closet.“You can do two things at once, but you can’t focus effectively on two things at once.” —Gary Keller3 Tips to Kick Over-Multitasking to the Curb1. Eliminate immediate distractions. Social media, petting your dog, the 7 million things on your to-do list…there’s always something else trying to steal a piece of your attention. Don’t let it! Put your phone on “do not disturb” and move your workspace to a different room. Don’t give in to the temptation to multitask!2. Find out why you’re prone to multitasking. Time for some self-reflection. Don’t be afraid to go deep!

Throw everything on there. Your hobbies. That load of laundry you’ve had sitting in the dryer for the last week. The project that’s due at work. That phone call you’ve avoided making. The possibilities are endless! Creating a to-do list can help you lay out what you still have to do, so you can focus on one thing at a time without worrying about forgetting the rest.“Time is not refundable; use it with intention.” – UnknownHi👋, I’m Josiah Hart!

  Hey there, friend! Everyone deals with scrambled time management once in a while. But if you find yourself struggling with it all the time, it might be time to look a little deeper.Whether you’ve got a project due tomorrow – that you haven’t even started – after knowing about it for a month, or you just find your daily schedule constantly disorganized, you might be struggling with poor time management.Poor time management is often caused by an overload of stress, not setting clear goals, being unmotivated, or simply just being bad at estimating the time it will take to do something.Once you find out what’s causing your time management issues, you can jump back on track to make the most of your time. So you can be as productive as possible.“If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I would spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.” —Abraham Lincoln3 Tips to Kick Poor Time Management to the Curb1. Block out your work time. Social media, petting your dog, the 7 million things on your to-do list…there’s always something else trying to steal a piece of your attention. Don’t let it! Put your phone on “do not disturb” and move your workspace to a different room. Decide when you’re going to work, and block off that chunk of time. This is your “work only” time.2. Find out why you’re prone to poor time management. Time for some self-reflection. Don’t be afraid to go deep! If your time management issue stems from a deeper problem, it’s important to identify and address what`s really going on so you can move forward into the land of high productivity.3. Keep up with your calendar. Using tools such as Google Calendar or even a regular day planner is extremely helpful. Plan out your day, and block off times when you’re going to focus on just work. Make sure you include time blocks to do whatever else you need to get done in the day.“Time is not refundable; use it with intention.” – UnknownHi👋, I’m Josiah Hart!
