The 3 Keys to Limiting Unhelpful Thoughts
It happens to all of us. We’re working from home, trying to be productive, but our minds wander off, and we end up focusing on unhelpful thoughts.?
These unhelpful thoughts could either be mild distractions or could be very disruptive to our productivity.?
I love the quote by Jerry Bruckner that says, “the biggest mistake you can make in life is to waste your time.” Your time is not a good thing to waste. If you can’t properly manage your unhelpful thoughts, you’re not using your mind to its fullest potential. Imagine how productive you could be if you had strategies to replace your negative thoughts.??

3 年Thought distractions are a productivity killer for sure Matt Zaun. Something I encourage people to do to battle thought distraction is to keep a list of tasks nearby that can be completed quickly. When you experience thought distraction, shift focus and complete a small task. This will create a small win, a shift in mindset, and allow you to get back to your original train of thought. Thank you for sharing, Matt!

3 年Matt Zaun, I'm guilty as charged on this post!!?? Seriously, IMO, I think it's human nature that thoughts come at the most unexpected times yet we all get distracted by those thoughts. Those thoughts could be about any matter that may be happening in your life, like working in a stressful environment or working from home in a quiet room where focusing on what needs to be completed can be challenging.
