What do you do to stay on task?

Posted 2 months ago I am sitting here at work, watching the clock tick away. I have plenty to do, but I just cannot find the motivation to get it done. My mind keeps wandering to other things- shopping list, packing list, what I need to get done at home before going out of town this weekend and I cannot stay focused today. I have even balanced my checkbook. YUCK! Some of the reason is because what I have to do is mundane, mindless paperwork that never ends. The piles never go away, things get added to, or removed but the piles never end. Its either pile A, pile B, pile C or start something that is on my to-do list (that I think of while working on A, B or C). Today is only Tuesday; It's going to be one long week if I cannot stay on task. What do you do to keep yourself focused and on task? I just got back from running around the building- twice- just to get my body moving. (and its a beautiful day outside) |

| Posted 2 months ago Sounds like someone has a case of the mondays! just kidding . Firstly, let me compliment you on running around your work place...awesome idea! The exercise gets your endorphins; brain juices movin. You have to keep your brain awake, body moving, and spirit staying positive. The first thing I would recommend is making a brainstorm list. Any order that comes to mind. Then put your tasks in order of importance especially the most undesirable one first , just get it out of the way and then you will feel relieved and empowered to continue on the list to all of the easy things. When you return from your trip, you should be recharged, and renewed... hopefully. I know you are bored at your job, just keep it interesting and put your own creative twisty on it. I have to stare at video cameras all day, and absolutely... nothing happens here, I am always looking for stuff that never happens. I wish I had something to do. look at a funny video or book every now and then to remind you life is not a serious and mundane! Have a greater week! |

| Posted 2 months ago Sounds like you are experiencing burnout!!! You need to decide if you are going to stay where you are. If so, then you need to get more productive of you may have a whole new set of problems!!! One way you can usher yourself along through the day is to make to-do lists with times you should spend on each task. make sure to put in time for you to meditate, time for your walk, and even a little time to do absolutely nothing. Good Luck!!! |
