Need a Moment to Refocus

Do you ever feel like you are web browser with too many tabs open? You are probably focused on everything and nothing and running a bit slower on top of that. There are several great approaches to get you back on track though. The first step is shut everything off and that means completely. You should go to a quiet space where you do not have distractions such phone services or social media. You can even go so far as to shutting your phone off. The second step is to take deep breaths. It helps to connect with your body and get back on track. Once the outer distractions are gone, it's time to deal with the inner voice. Often the workload at hand distracts me. I might have a jumble of client tasks, school projects, column titles, family needs, and more. As it all jumbles around in my head, my brain struggles to keep centered on what's in front of me. That's when I pull out the notebook and make the classic to-do list. Lastly, take a look at that list and prioritize.
