How do you refocus and concentrate on what you should be doing, when your mind has gone off on a tangent and elsewhere ?

Depends where it’s gone and for how long. Sometimes I need to escape for a little while so trust myself to go with the flow...

Escaping for a little while is good, I do that, but think this is in for the day

Take a break. Set an alarm for the end of said break. Get back to it. Make a cuppa / drink some water.

In extreme cases, and where possible, go have a wank.

That's my methodology anyway.

I’ll follow this with interest as In(the man half) find it very difficult to concentrate. I’m pretty good in a crisis though, but sometimes things become a crisis because I haven’t sorted them earlier.

Tried a break, tried a chat change of topic, neither worked.... haven’t tried last option, could work

Some days you just can't be on top form. Peaks and troughs are normal...

I get a cup of coffee or tea. Change to a different room if necessary and focus on the thing I should be doing. The trick is to shift position for me. Changes the energy and my mind follows.

I can normally focus and usually the sane one in a crisis and someone who others turn to when need to focus.... today I’m the ditsy, brain all over the place

I keep my objectives in mind, so if a reality check shows that what I'm doing isn't helping me to fulfill my objectives, I stop what I'm doing.

I may need to relax - so do this. Remind myself why my objectives are important, to rekindle my motivation. Seek help, if I need it. Exercise is my killer way to reenergise and reset my focus - subject to any time constraints. Alternatively, brief contact with nature works well for me

Thanks Doc, I’ve been shifting position most the day, think going to have to just admit defeat and let the mind wander

No, no.... I didn’t know what that meant and now I had to google, I will never learn

That’s definitely something I don’t want to remember but has got me refocused on the job at hand...so a gold star for achieving that, but a slap for spoiling my thoughts and replacing it with that !!

I recently bought a book called Uni Life Hacks. Almost all the advice in it can be applied to every day life and there's a great section on beating procrastination (as well as a million other pieces of noteworthy advice!) It's absolutely worth investing in, if only for the section about beating hangovers

It's something you have to do regularly. Helps you long term to be focused.
