Instead of trying to prevent myself from getting distracted, I try to encourage myself to refocus on the goal right away. E.g. if I'm googling a random question, I write it down for after I'm done. If I'm reading an article, I note it for later. Social media, just close.
First lesson of meditation is that you can't prevent random stuff from popping into your head, but you can practice refocusing as soon as you notice
- frankbreetz 4y agoI'll second this, I recently started going really downhill in terms of attention span and getting stuff done, so I figured I would give mediating a try. It was been great and really teaches you, you can't control thoughts that enter your mind, but you can let them go quickly. You should give it try, worst case you waste 5 minutes a day for a couple weeks
