I am that type of person who can get easily distracted from a job or task that I know I need to do, but don’t really want to!! With so many of us working from home during lockdown, finding focus can be even harder! So I have put together a little guide to help you find your focus and smash your to do list!

1. Create a Prioritised To Do List - make sure you write your to do list by order of what NEEDs to be done first!

2. Light a For Focus Candle - with rosemary, patchouli and lemon essential oils this blend has been designed to boost your mental clarity which is ideal for keeping you on task!

3. Put on a Playlist - Music really affects my mood so find the right playlist to keep you going (I will share the Poured By Fi For Focus one soon!)

4. Hide Your Phone - I can’t help myself but pick it up and scroll through Insta, so hide it away so you literally can’t be distracted by it.

5. Get Comfy - find the right clothes and location to be comfy so you can stay there for as long as needed! There is nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable and fidgety!

6. Take Regular Breaks - get up and move a little every now and then so you don’t burn yourself out!

7. Stay Hydrated - this one works perfectly with number 6! Keep getting up to get some water or a cuppa!

8. Reward Yourself - Once you start checking things off that list get yourself a treat! For me it has got to me food, so I would reward my hard work with some cake!

Obviously this is list is just some of the things that I think help me to stay focused and on track with jobs that need doing! But my other advice would be don’t punish yourself! If you are struggling, try not to let it get to you too much and change things up or even ask for some help!

I would love to hear your tactics to stay focused and getting smashing that to do list.
