How do you stayed focused on a task when the task involves some type of waiting?
For example, I have a really hard time staying focused at work. The problem for me is, our software can be really really really slow. While I’m waiting for Outlook to load an email, or our internal tooling to populate data, I find my mind is wandering. Often, I’ll start on another task or pick up my phone and just completely forget about the first thing I started.
At the end of the day, I have to figure out why I have 8 half written emails open in the background of my PC.
How do you stay on track when your tasks require patience?
This looks cool. What’s the odds of it flying off and hitting the computer monitor though?
Low risk for the unambitious.
If you are just doing the basics to fidget, you won’t have them go sabot on company or your property. If you are trying out the more advanced flourishes where you break contact or capture, probably do that where you won’t bolo pitch your ADHD tamer into sensitive equipment.
They are also less likely to go forward as they are sideways due to ergonomics.
