Form of Focus

How do you feel when you’re in a deep focus? What does that look like for you?

I often catch people engrossed in their work and feel a ping of jealousy. It seems that others have a knack for concentration, whereas I am constantly shifting from one distraction to another. Focus and productivity look different for each of us, I suppose. I’ve just come to realize that, for me, a walk around the house every ten minutes or so is necessary. It’s almost like my brain gets a bit overwhelmed by all the thinkin’ it’s doin’. Or it’s simply in need of a broader kind of thinking, and more oxygen, in order to better process smaller details.

Don’t beat yourself up for your own special form of focus. We get things done in the amount of time it takes us to get things done.
