Personal Development
My 10 years long experience is:
1) Self meditation in early morning.
2) same at a really quiet place (no humans around) only chirping.
3) Many a times a self erected mental (virtual) curtain (not barrier) to avoid distraction(s).
4) Act and go absent-minded on some certain non-lethal issues concerning work and linked environment.
It is purely my personally achieved experience, without having any 'blackout' days or hours. Even worked with good concentration in a 'Sheet Metal Workshop,' successfully completing precise legal work (high decibels)
Thanks Ehmed for sharing your strategies to help get focused and minimize distractions. I also find meditation in the morning makes a positive difference to how well I can focus during the day!
Great post! Truly everyone needs to address distractions carefully when they come upfront. When left unguarded, these distraction can end up to pressure and stress in your workplace. Getting in the zone after distractions hit me gets me more eager to regain my productivity level. That is my conscious approach. However nearly inevitably, when stress goes above our tolerance, our productivity is affected.
Thanks Will for your thoughts. Getting back into 'the zone' has it's challenges, yet once there, it's almost like we do not even see those distractions! I also agree that when stress gets to a certain high level, our productivity and many other things are affected such as energy levels and health.
