Over the years I've written a lot about focus and distraction. This track introduces the collection of posts from my blog around this theme, with some new thoughts on the value of identifying the problem *before* you try to implement solutions. I also say a bit about what you'll find in the other posts. Related Posts:3 elements to considerFocus and the desire for distractionDistraction: not the usual suspectsOne thing at a time?The impact of time available on your focusChoose the task to suit how you are feelingChoosing the task to suit the contextMeditation as practice and metaphorWriting and Focus in Grading SeasonSelect the task you most want to work onDo you have too many writing projects?When another project is distracting youDictation and focusWhen your project brings up difficult emotionsFor more advice, support and perspectives like this, sign up to my free monthly newsletter: https://jovanevery.co.uk/newsletter To find out how short chunks of time can revolutionise your writing, take the FREE 15 Minute Writing Challenge course: https://jovanevery.co.uk/15-min-writing-challenge/ Or join the Academic Writing Studio community: https://academicwritingstudio.co.uk  Support me on KoFi here: https://ko-fi.com/jovanevery  I'm no longer on Twitter, but I'm on Bluesky here: https://bsky.app/profile/jovanevery.bsky.social Find me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/  Or follow along on Facebook here: https://facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach
