Another Monday on the grind…
Deadlines. Customers asking “Can you just …? It’ll only take you a few minutes.”.
Unpaid invoices to chase up. Oh look, some messages, what do they say? Wait, what?
Distractions can kill your FLOW.
You know you’re supposed to work. You know that your clients are counting on you. That trip to Florence you planned is not going to pay for itself so you better get down to it.
The truth is sometimes it’s just too hard to focus on the one thing you need to get done - or even decide what that one thing is!
Let’s get real – even when you’re in love with what you do, you’re still human. And as any human, you get distracted too. ???♀
There is some great stuff you can do if you find yourself losing focus.
?? Breathe. Taking deep breaths for a few minutes can clear your mind quite literally… All the oxygen flowing in will keep you fresh. Close your eyes and just breathe.
?? Visualise your goal. What is your goal? To complete the project? To get paid? To visit Florence? Right now, you may be stuck working… But if you take a moment to visualise what you are working for, what your end GOAL is, you might just be able to finish more easily. ?
?? “I am brilliant”. So tell yourself that. Don’t forget that you are awesome and your life is in your hands. Realising and knowing your worth can bring about the transformation from low productivity to sustainable success. ?
And of course structuring your week to give time to the different elements of your business frees you up to be in the moment knowing everything will get handled...
What about you? How do you cope?
?? Let me know below!

5 年Having the ability to switch off is vital. Just forgetting about everything, for an evening or just a couple of hours to have some 'you' time is essential. Doing to much and constantly working can have the opposite effect and actually start to damage your business as it becomes draining, which starts a downward spiral as you lose motivation as to why you do what you do in the first place.
