The hardest thing is focusing. For me, I don't even know if I should write a blog post about focusing if I'm so easily distractable, but I might have some insights.
Noise
This means visual, mental, emotional noise. I clear my table of everything I don't want to see, that's pretty much everything. I try to wear glasses. It makes the screen clearer. I play classical music or jazz. Jazz is relaxing.
Maintenance
I want to do a stretch every half hour to make sure im not just sitting the whole time. I want to do some yoga, and do some kind of brain waking activity every 30 minutes, for example play a game. The good ol' saying, prevention is better than a cure.
Emotions
Well its obvious that happiness would be the best state to be in. Drop all the problems aside. If things change they do. Sometimes we change things ourselves. I do that often when I don't want to fool myself. And find something that's real. But mourning is part of the process. Feeling sad is mourning, just don't mourn all the time. If it feels unbearable then mourn a bit. Romantic problems usually throw me out of whack, but when I really think about it, why does any of this matter? Most of these people don't matter, I would still function without them. I just feel more calm more happy with a constant partner. I had recent trouble with a person I cannot be with, and only became a distraction to him, it was too much for him and he tuned me out.
Boredom
When someone else sets the schedule or task, I usually do it even if its boring, even grudgingly, but when I set a task, its harder first to set a task for myself, and then to make me do it. It's like being a taskmaster and servant at the same time. How to handle it?
Time framing
I'm immensely bad at this because it makes me feel trapped and stressed when I set deadlines.
What if deadlines werent dead lines but life lines? You are making progress by completing deadlines, not the opposite. You are actually bringing things to life instead of killing them.
