Hi
Don't you hate it when you are really focused on a task and an urgent thought or two sneak in and break your concentration?
Here's a tip to help with focus when you get distracted by random thoughts:
Create a Parking Lot.
Do thoughts about things you need to do race through your mind when you are working on something that needs your full attention?
It's easy to be thrown off course by passing thoughts about dry cleaning or returning Aunt Linda’s phone call.
Deal with sidetracking thoughts — and the anxiety they can create — with a “parking lot,” an easily accessible place to dump unneeded thoughts until a more appropriate time.
The parking lot could be a notebook you carry in your purse, or a post-it note stuck to your desk; whatever it is, it will save you stress and keep your focus unbroken.
Have you tried using a parking lot to give random thoughts a home until you can schedule a time to deal with them?
I'd like to know.
