Episode 352: How to Stay Focused - 20 Tips The Hardcore Self Help Podcast with Duff the Psych

Hello, friends! It's been an interesting week for me, which I address at the start of the episode. From there, I share with you a previous episode of the show that I wanted to make sure that you've heard! This is all about staying focused. It's a great episode for anyone that might struggle with ADHD or simply has trouble concentrating from time to time. Here are the tips I cover:
Limit distractions
Adjust your space - physical and digital
Do NOT multitask
Practice mindfulness meditation frequently
Journal/Plan every day
Check your planner at least 3x per day
Set yourself up with an outline before leaving a task
Keep a notebook nearby for impulsive thoughts that can wait
Force yourself to prioritize
If you take it out, put it back
Don't procrastinate - if it takes less than a minute do it (unless you're in the middle of something else)
Keep a place for your small things
Make a mise en place for your workplaces
Use neutral inputs to satisfy your attention hunger (white noise etc)
Take breaks for movement
Abort when you're in to deep
Work in shifts
Don't use your partner as a coach
Use the solution that works, whether it's perfect or not
Study yourself
