Staying focused in the current life stress is very difficult. Through trial and error, and a burning need to keep moving forward, I’ve adopted an “unscheduled” schedule.

I’m spending less time on each particular job of my business for the time being. Before I had it sectioned off into two hour segments, which is healthy for progress and for your mind. It’s been shown that multi-tasking is not that healthy for you. And I’ve always been a great multi-tasker. Took me awhile to get over that.

The two hour segments is also healthier for you than to keep changing what jobs you work on every 15 minutes or so. Mmmm…okay, I have another article series to do here.

Anyway…this new schedule is necessary because I’m walking around in a state of numbness about what is a tragedy to me in my life. I thank God that no one died, yet it is a tragedy, none-the-less. This situation threatens my concentration and my focus…and my progress. But I am very, very afraid of what it means to not move forward and to not make my business work to the degree I need it to.

So, I work 15 minutes to 1/2 hour on one topic/job/duty, and then go to another. I find that I can keep myself preoccupied for that long and by doing the things in smaller steps, I am making a lot of progress.

Also, I’ve moved myself offline for much of the time. When I’m on the computer I have a tendency to keep taking breaks to check the emails to see if there was any “news”. I’m so wrapped up in things right now that I can’t stop that action, so changing my location helps me control that urge more.

The good news is that I’m getting a whole lot of stuff accomplished and a whole lot of writing done. It’ll take me forever to get it all typed in…unless I find someone else to do it for me…
