Focus II
Every day won’t be perfect, but a focused mind doesn’t need a perfect environment. It only needs a purpose to push through obstacles.
When I moved into one of my favorite apartments five years ago, it took a while to get settled—truthfully, it felt like forever.
Every room felt too cold. And every new layer I added made working indoors feel miserable. There was no central air, and I lived in the tropics.
I’m in a different apartment now, living further up north, and my room is the coldest room. To stay focused, I’ve made my room comfortable enough to keep me at my desk. Sometimes, I game at my work desk to slowly rewire my brain.
It’s helped so far. I’ve stopped running when it’s time to sit down and finish important projects. I’ve also added art to my desk, new plants to my room, and changed my sheets to match my mood.
All of these changes and tweaks are very personal to me, but they’ve helped me find my rhythm even as it evolves over time.
Focus on what’s important to you. Refocus as necessary.
