Just get good sleep, great nutrition, enough exercise, and remove all stressors from your life. How hard can it be!?
Yes really that’s the source/cause of most internal distractions.
- sanderjd 3y agoI think this is true, but I was also thinking about more specific things. Like identifying, "ok, what do I commonly do in my own workflow that interrupts me from what I'm working on". In another comment I used the example of wanting to see the results of something I just did, but having to wait for something that executes slowly. Another example of something I'm guilty of is going down premature refactoring rabbit holes. But all of the general good mental health stuff you mentioned helps maintain the right focused mental state to introspect about where you're getting interrupted, figuring out how to avoid those things, and then actually avoiding them.
- manicdee 3y agoHa ha yeah. Let me just remove all that childhood trauma and PTSD, then we'll get this train of thought right back on track. Why didn't I think of that sooner?
