Have you ever had one of those days where you just couldn’t concentrate on just one thing. It didn’t matter if you’ve got the mighty to-do list out and sitting right there infront of you. It just isn’t helping you focus on the task at hand… or for that matter any of the tasks on that list.
I’m sitting here with about 6 things on my list. Some of the tasks will take up some time - for sure, quiet a bit of my time over the next week - in fact I’m falling a bit behind on these tasks, so not being able to get a grip and focus is not doing me any favours. So what do I do - I’ve got this nifty little tool on my desktop from Google - it’s like a sidebar that you can add stuff to it. Like a to-do list, photos, etc and it’s really handy and with it I found a timer that will give me a timed “micro break” and a bigger break after a certain amount of time. Which is awesome, because I think I spend way too much time in front of the computer and I need to actually take a break from staring at the screen, get up and get something to drink… just get away for a little then get back at it a bit more refreshed.
On most days that works - it works great. Today… not so much.
I’m hoping this situation is temporary. ![]()

I have those days a lot. And then I have days like today when I thought I was getting stuff done, but then the end of the day was here and I don’t feel like I did anything I was supposed to.
By the way - I like your blog. I’ve been reading for a while. Its inspiring and makes me feel less alone with trying to make money. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment Trisha. I think as we all do this sort of thing online it is one of those things where there are loads of people out there doing this sort of thing and at the same time it can be the most isolating because there just isn’t a lot of honest interaction between people.
I’m glad you’re reading and I’ve got your site on my RSS. Definitely keep in touch

Same problem here too. I have lots of deadlines and many things to work on. It’s very hard focusing on them all and I just can’t prioritize. Uff.
