It helped me zone out nicely.</p> <p>@swurlygurl: I downloaded this add-on to my browser to block Twitter, FB, etc. I could add sites like this one but then I just find other sites to distract myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-720033 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:59:08 +0000 LovelyPlum 720033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clearly, I'm not a good candidate to answer this question. I can say that it has been so, so difficult since last week, but it is getting easier. I like any soft music, too...Sara Bariellas is my current pick. I also usually need to get all the distractions done and out of the way first before I can get things done. Sometimes, it takes a while, but then I can focus, and do so for a pretty long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-720032 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:58:54 +0000 swurlygurl 720032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah... big problem for me...</p> <p>Some days I think I should uninstall the internet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-720022 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:56:20 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 720022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: I find that the easiest way for me to focus is to put my headphones on. Even though my office is super quiet, listening to music keeps any distraction down. Maybe that will work for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-720009 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:53:57 +0000 Turd Ferguson 720009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easy, I don't.</p> <p>;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-720000 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:51:43 +0000 mlm2934 720000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a huge problem with this!!! Most of my work doesn't have hard fast deadlines (like it did at my old job), so my motivation to stay focused is so low!!! I try to pump myself up to focus each morning but just doesn't last. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-719993 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:49:27 +0000 LindsayInNY 719993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Same here, hence my post ;) I have ADHD and am not medicated. Don't want to be and can't since we're TTC. I've heard some people are uber focused post-baby which I pray is the case for me. No matter how much work I have to do, I'm easily distracted. Mostly by the internet. =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-719987 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:47:33 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 719987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: Um... I'm here on HB instead of working - LOL. I definitely found it harder to stay focused at work. I am so easily distracted now, either researching things for DD or watching her on the webcam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-719955 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:41:32 +0000 JoJoGirl 719955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. Between the bombing yesterday and being 35 weeks pregnant, it is SO not happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-719954 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:40:56 +0000 dagret 719954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only on my first day back and wondering the same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/focusing-at-work#post-719944 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:38:53 +0000 LindsayInNY 719944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you stay focused at work?</p> <p>Did you find your focus changing post-baby? </p>
