Focusing your mind......

It is a challenge sometimes when your mind seems to be on other things rather than the task in hand, even though you know that you may have a deadline to meet and other critical work to do as well.

The most effective way for me to be able to focus my mind is by stripping back my task list and re prioritise what needs to be done so that I feel more in control. I make sure I place personal timelines on all the work that I need to do, which are well in advance of the actual deadline itself.

Sometimes the simple reorganisation of your task list can free up your mind to refocus your energy on the most important things, even when the task list may well contain the same tasks as they did before.

Once you have re-prioritised there is a renewed sense of control and now you can simply get focused on taking action.

Alternatively, another way of giving your self the kick start, is exercise and get your blood flowing and therefore your energy levels will increase. Exercise will increase your energy, creativity and concentration levels, not deplete them as some people would suggest.

Remember, energy flows where attention goes.........
