 It is neurologically impossible to focus on 2 tasks at once. As someone that struggles with the joy of constant internal/external distraction, these are some tools that I’ve found helpful: >>Most simple and obvious.. Set your phone to airplane mode or put it in another room for a designated amount of time. >>Use a timer to focus on one specific task at a time (25 min on, 5 min break, repeat) You’ll be shocked to find how much you can get done in 25 minutes! >>Schedule your tasks ahead of time earlier in the day. You’ll find yourself with more free time and less stress at the end of the day. >>Learn how to say no to your primal brain which will always dangle that shiny fun/food/FB/phone in your face while you’re trying to get x done. The more you plan ahead with your intelligent brain, the less traction your primal brain gets on you! Need some help? Work with a Life Coach and get in charge of your brain! First session on me!
