      Seeing this is in the business ownership section...

      Set a goal with a deadline (like Today!). Lock the door, hang up the do-not-disturb sign, switch off the phone and get started. Once you've got going and are into the project, focus is a lot easier - at least until you get interrupted.

                      The difficulty with focus for me is that it is a matter of having to shut down my conscious mind. My brain runs a mile a minute and it is always off on some tangent. Doing stuff is easy, the problem is not thinking about 10000 other things at the same time.

                      For some focus means concentrating all their energy on one spot, for me it means letting the subconscious mind do the work and shutting the yapping concious mind up...go figure...

                          I think this ability you have is more of a strenght than a weakness! You merely exercising your brain...

                            I don't know about that, the purpose of meditation is just that, to shut the damn thing up....

                              This works for me

                              I found that working at night can be very productive, no interruptions, no calls, no clients...
                              ...just... serenity. I usually stay up late and work.

                              When I used to study for exams I would cover my walls with A4 paper. Each A4 and area in the room/house is a designated area for a subject, idea, work to do........etc........
                              This worked very well for me

                              I do this in my office, but not to the same extent as above, but I always have something or the other suspended in view.
                              From the wall to a file when completed/resolved, and brought out if needed again.
                              It is a simple strategy that really works for ideas, planning, +++. If I have a random idea I can put it up on the wall and add if needed (Pen out pocket). Because it’s on the wall you can’t miss it, so it generates more content for the idea.

                              It assists with focus because it compartmentalises
                              It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. – Charles Darwin
