On Monday I ‘fessed up and admitted I’ve forgotten how to work effectively.
I did promise to keep you updated on my progress via the twitter-verse (see below) and share my revelations on Wednesday.
Revelations:
1. I immediately felt better because I was working a plan. Now that might be a personality thing, but I think everyone would have a slight sense of relief in the belief they can make their situation better.
2. I am LESS overwhelmed, although in no way caught up.
3. Using #BURSTfocus tied with a reward worked even better for me. On Tuesday I made a lunch date with a friend, that was TIED to completion of two one-hour sessions before we went.
4. Right now, my brain can tolerate 3 one-hour #BURSTfocus sessions, in the 4th I find it harder to keep my concentration.
Monday:
3:00 pm micro-goal = respond to requests received today EVEN if it is only to acknowledge I’m working on what is needed #BURSTfocus #LYNNSIGHT
