It's still early days, and I'm even still experimenting with the method of tracking even:





How it's been useful so far is that I try not to do things like paying bills on poor focus days. And since today is a low energy day with strong focus, I'll probably do things like reading and sorting.

That makes a lot of sense.

How do you differentiate between focus and motivation? Those seem somewhat similar to me.

[fay_e]

Focus is how long I can stay on one task. Motivation is getting to the task.

So, say, for reading - motivation is getting myself to pick up the book, and focus is how many pages I get through before I go OOH SHINY. I should probably reorder, but it's in alphabetical order for now.

[lunabee34]

Okay, that makes sense.

I tend to not have an issue with focus, but motivation is a huge problem for me. I used to be such a go-getter. LOL I am getting apathetic in my old age.

[fay_e]

I'd trade you - focus is my biggest issue, maybe because I keep opening new stuff to do!

[lunabee34]

LOL

I just can't start anything.

We do need to trade for a day.
