Rec | DOING ONE TASK AT A TIME

Rec'd on 🧘🏻 6/10: WHAT’S A RECENT HABIT THAT HAS MADE YOUR LIFE MUCH BETTER?

even if it’s as sample as watching TV it helps my brain if I just focus on that one thing. It’s easy to get into the habit on being on your phone while something is playing so I’ve been trying to avoid that. I feel more intentional with what I’m doing when I try not to multitask 😌

not multitasking

i don’t think it’s healthy for the mind. doing one thing at a time requires focus and it’s how we stay present. it’s often rare to avoid thinking about the past, future, or the multiple crazy things going down in the present. finding something that requires your whole brain to think about is is so crucial and grounding, to be immersed in something other than yourself. i guess that’s why waiting rooms are so daunting - who wants to sit around, wait, and do nothing? obviously that’s a place to doom-scroll or read people mag or whatever. anyways when you’re not waiting around, just do one thing at a time dude

Focusing on one thing at a time

Slow down and think about what you’re really doing moment to moment A lot of time and energy can be wasted trying to address too many things at once subconsciously Occasionally check in with yourself to make sure you aren’t just anxiously passing time

baby steps, structure, and airplane mode.

Its cliched but it's true. I've got a bad case of scatter brain at all times. But I've found peace and progress in dedicating small, increasing increments of time to the things I am interested in. Take it one day at a time and don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two. But try to be consistent. 10 minutes of this, 15 minutes of that. Before you know it you develop a habit that is actually good for you. It also helps me to put my phone on airplane mode and disconnect while I do these things. Just me and the interest. It's not a science and it won't happen overnight. But before you know it you'll just be sucked into rhythms of the things you want to do rather than the things that rot your brain.
