How do you stay focused at work?
Did you find your focus changing post-baby?
-
I'm only on my first day back and wondering the same thing!
-
Ugh. Between the bombing yesterday and being 35 weeks pregnant, it is SO not happening.

@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.

@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. =/

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.

Easy, I don't.

@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?
-
Yeah... big problem for me...
Some days I think I should uninstall the internet!

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.

@BabyBoecksMom: I use to listen to music and, oddly enough, I found earplugs to work really well. It helped me zone out nicely.
@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!
