I'm not sure if it's lack of sleep or stressing over a deadline, but the last two days I've found it extremely hard to concentrate on the work I'm supposed to be doing. Doesn't help that, when I stare at the page and find it incomprehensible, I try to get around it and then the time goes by and I think, "Damnit..."

Sad to say, it's the same in certain conversations. I have a thought perfectly well-formed in my head, but when I try to find the words, I get tired midsentence and then say, "Eh f**k it, I got nothing."

Ever have days like that?

Don't get me wrong, when I buckle down on a project I can usually work on it till it's done, but that ability doesn't seem to be with me right now - which is really inconvenient, considering I've got deadlines coming up.

What do you do when you're faced with days like this?

  • Hey chica...k, this sounds a bit crazy but I personally do a few things.

    1. If I'm not too pressed for time, I take some time off. Why?

    Because I actually get more work if you step away for a little while to regroup and refesh.

    This is what I do when in during it...usually ; )

    2. I'm a huge fan of Taoism. I get the energies flowing through my body...if you're thinkin you want to do it, I can show you my fav guy for this. Sounds really wack and new age but we have emotions and emotions are energies...when we sit around all day we tend to get drained from it...my cure is Taoism and to work out in the morning.

    3. This usually means I'm leaking energy EVERYWHERE. My mind's focused on a million different things so I have to calm down...relax and prioritize my thoughts...I think why am I even giving this a thought while I'm working? Why am I thinking about work when I'm chillin with some kids?

    We have a tendancy to contradict ourselves...so I've been investing a bunch of time on balance in life....everywhere. It's working out really well for me. I'm starting to seperate work from play but at the same time I'm learning that my play time can help my work and same with my work and play...sometimes I do thing's I'm "not suppose to" to keep myself balanced and I come back to work and I wail on my projects.

    Through balance and prioritizing my life. By really breaking it down!

    I set up an overall goal for business. 10M in 2 years. And then for my life my goal is to live in harmony...so I plan out my entire schedule...and I have back ups. Like I account for every hour of the day but my free time I can do whatever I feel like...if I can't think of something I feel like doing, I go to my schedule and I focus on a book or a course I set aside to give me more balance in my life...like success, self improvement, and guitar. I just account for every area of my life so I can focus on the task at hand and I don't have to worry about a million different things throughout the day.

    I've been getting a lot more focused and a bunch more productive in less time.

    When I started doing this a lot happened. It's crazy! i got more energy, I had a clearer mind, I started feeling better emotionally....like there wasn't some epic war going on in my head. I've had more fun with everything I've done and I've ended up more productive....to me that's what life's all about

    Hope this helped a little bit...if you found something you like, feel free to try it out! Just remember, nothing will ever help unless you go out and try it : )
