How I Handle My Attention
Recently, I started to feel pressed. Having to work two different jobs, plus writing and working on personal projects is difficult.I would wake up earlier. I would separate my day into 3-4 different pieces and try to fill them with various projects until I realized that it just doesn't work. Why? Because time management is not as important as attention management.
I learned a few things:
Focusing on a task is returning to it every 48 hours.
There is a cap of two different tasks that you can do within a single day. I learned that it's not the work that exhausted me the most, but the switching between different types of work.
And personal projects should be taken care of on my own time (e.g.,on weekends and holidays).
The more creative a task is, the earlier you should work on it. I am a morning person, so I try to write before breakfast.
Just telling yourself to do a specific activity five minutes longer than usual can help create stillness, and it leads to high-quality focus.
Attention is a rare resource. It's only the deep focus, the "deep work", as Cal Newport calls it, that leads to high-quality results and productivity.You'll thank yourself later.
A. Stillness breeds focus.
B. Workweek should be for work.
C. Devote 2020 to mastering this vital skill.
D. If it takes longer, it's not in the "focus zone"
E. Stay quiet, and I found myself deeply focused.
F. What matters today is where we focus our mental energy.
G. So I started to apply the old time-management techniques to myself.
