Can't Focus? These Reasons Might Be Why.

We’ve all been there. It’s Wednesday and you just sit and stare at a computer screen for hours without feeling like you have the will to get anything done. Not being able to focus can affect everything from your productivity to your personal life. Let’s take a closer look at some of the possible reasons you might not be able to be productive, and maybe some tips on how you can get back in the swing of things.?

You’re Over Tired

When it comes to a lack of focus one of the most common reasons today is a lack of sleep. Of course, the simple solution here is to get more sleep; but this is sometimes easier said than done when you’re living a busy life. The best way to solve this is to work on creating a new nightly routine. Try to sleep at the same time every night and avoid screens for the hour before you plan to sleep, including your phone. It is also usually recommended to keep your room cool and dark.

You’re Feeling Pessimistic

Another common reason to lose focus is being in a poor mood. Everyone is entitled to a bad mood once in a while, but it becomes a problem when negativity happens all the time. If you’re feeling pessimistic more often than not, start by changing your mindset. Look for the sources of your negativity. Take a step back and look at what the negative thing is teaching you and find the positives. In today’s social media influenced world, it is easy to look at what others are doing and see the best parts of their lives. Try not to compare your whole life with the snapshots of others. Spending less time on social media is a great way to not only decrease your negativity, but also stay on task!

Too Much Multitasking

Today, multitasking has been held up as the ultimate form of productivity, but science is starting to show that this isn’t necessarily the case. If you find it difficult to maintain focus while multitasking, try to separate tasks to do each task at once. Consider techniques for prioritizing your day so you can take care of the most important tasks first.

You Hate What You’re Doing

Of course, one of the primary reasons we lose focus is because we’re completely burned out. If you hate what you’re doing, there is only one solution. You need to find something else that will bring enjoyment back into your life. We know it can be scary to think about, but making a change now will be far better than staying with something you don’t enjoy for an indefinite amount of time.?
