Fighting with Distractions: Have your Limbo Space
Previously, when I worked on something, I had dozen of thoughts, ideas and unrelated questions appearing in head randomly. So what I was doing is when I got something new on my mind, I went to my browser and open a new tab to get the information that I need (junk-fooding my brain)
And this is how my journey to “Distractionland” would start.
To fight with this I pick a hack that, I think, Robert Rodrigues mentioned somewhere in his interview.
It is deadly simple: Every time you do something important and think about something which is not related to your current work — go and write it down, then get back to what you’ve been doing before.
For me, it worked like a charm. The moment I got distracted, I open my Bear app, create a new note and put my thoughts there.
I call it my Limbo space, where all of the ideas and thoughts would wait for their time for being reviewed and processed.
I dedicate specific blocks of time where I do nothing but cleaning my inboxes.
So far, it works well for me.
And how do you fight with your distractions?
