Staying Focused On The Task At Hand

🦋 Have you ever watched a butterfly dance from flower to flower?  Haphazardly stopping by whatever seems appealing in that moment, then off it goes, to find the next brightly colored object of affection and continue its mysterious movement.

Have you ever felt like that? Fluttering from here to there when you’re working, cleaning, or even just trying to focus.  A little of this... a little of that... oh look, another flower... I’d better stop and check that out. 🌸🌺🌸🌺
​
Although the butterfly’s path is lovely to watch, when *we* mimmic it our path tends to be, well... messy and inefficient.  Leaving us to have been busy all day, but not having much to show for all our efforts. 😳

Unless you’re literally out for a relaxing stroll in the woods, might I suggest we reel in our focus a bit? 😉

When you’re moving through your day, if you allow every small thing to draw you in, you’re going to {as I like to say} flutter with the clutter!  If you find yourself in this situation, sometimes... or maybe a lot of times, here’s an easy idea to keep you focused...

​📝 Keep a notebook and as things come to mind - instead of darting off to do them or allow your mind to wander with them - simply jot down a reminder.  Then keep a scheduled time in your planner to come back to revisit your notes from the day.  Take action *then* on those things if time allows, or schedule them out in your planner as you can.  Sometimes you’ll even find that when you come back to the note, it’s really not that important anymore and you can just cross it off!
