What do you guys do to improve your focus?

3•pervysage•2h ago
I have found that my attention is very much at peak when i doodle. But copying someone's work feels boring after a while and it becomes a muscle memory thing. Which work of yours keep you involved completely? Avoid mentioning any practice which involves technology.

1. ADHD medication

2. Break things down into small tasks

3. Checklists for all tasks, preferably on paper, crossing things out feels nice

4. Work surrounded by people, I need the accountability of being observed. Go to the office more often, use Focusmate where you pair with strangers, or even open an empty video call with just yourself and have yourself on camera on one screen.

5. In general look for environments that give frequent feedback, as frequent as possible. That's why long things and big projects need to be broken down.

6. Noise cancelling headphones, repetitive music with a nice beat and no lyrics.

7. But the main that unlocked everything was the medication, without it the rest of the tips don't do much.

It is crazy how we have slowly turned into creatures who crave feedback. No matter how much we ignore, we must accept that we were trained from having a need of feedback for growth to want feedback for every little step. It can be used to our advantage as well. Thanks for pointing it out.
