From Distraction to Action
Recently, I came across this clever wordplay and decided to doodle my own version. I don’t know who first came up with it (if you do, let me know), but it got me thinking: distractions are everywhere, but action is a choice we can actively make.
Here are a few tools and strategies I use to stay focused:
Noise management: Loops earplugs, noise-cancelling headphones, or classical/lofi music—anything without words helps me tune out the world and tune into my work.
Pomodoro sprints: 25 minutes of focused work and a short break (on repeat) keeps me productive.
Reduce interruptions: Phones out of sight, notifications off, and clear boundaries with others about when I need focus time.
Declutter: A clear desk or digital workspace means fewer reasons to wander off task.
These may seem simple, but they make a big difference for me.
What works for you? Let me know—I’m always up for trying new strategies.
