What do you do when you lose your focus? - GoFuckYourself.com

Wolfy · 01-26-2007, 08:06 AM

I've completely lost it, hit a wall - I haven't done a fucking thing productive in 3 days. I just can't force my mind to focus on work.

What do you do to get back on track?

This is serious - I'm thinking about getting a job for a change of pace, and that's a horrid thought!!!!

gangbangjoe · 01-26-2007, 08:10 AM

best solution: go on vacation

your body shows you that he needs some rest.

after a few weeks off you will sure be back a 100%

L-Pink · 01-26-2007, 08:10 AM

I find that a two day drunk in a cheap motel room with a young skank always clears my mind.

whatever floats your boat

teg0 · 01-26-2007, 08:15 AM

Go for a long walk or bike ride. But, I see you're in Milwaukee. Being from Iowa I know that you really can't go for long walks or bike ride this time of year. Just take a break from technology. No computer, no tv, try to not even use the cell phone. Just un-plug yourself for a day or two. That always works wonders for me.

Agent 488 · 01-26-2007, 08:16 AM

get drunk.

Brad Gosse · 01-26-2007, 08:24 AM

I agree with gangbangjoe

vacation is what you need. Pack up and go somewhere nice to get perspective.

Wolfy · 01-26-2007, 08:29 AM

I'm heading to Vegas in a couple weeks, I don't want to take off now... I'll feel guilty the whole time I'm in Vegas. I need a quick fix, a patch, to get me through until my vacation.

The walk/exercise suggestion is good, it usually works... but it's just not right now. I went out yesterday and busted my ass snowboarding for 4 hours, as intensely as I could. I came home, planning on whittling down the ever-growing to-do list, and I got the same thing... a fucking blank stare at the dual monitors.

Wolfy · 01-26-2007, 09:16 AM

fuck it, I'm going to go blow $100 on lunch. Somebody meet me at Asiana at noon, I'll buy you a drink :D

robfantasy · 01-26-2007, 09:20 AM

go to the gym

Pimpin_J · 01-26-2007, 09:26 AM

Sports sounds like an option..

kowalsky · 01-26-2007, 09:31 AM

When I can´t focus, I use that time to do all those things that I never do because I am a fucking computer addicted.

4Man · 01-26-2007, 09:57 AM

Take some vocation...

Wolfy · 01-26-2007, 05:10 PM

eh, I went tanning, got my haircut, blew some money on Sushi... I'm better now

I shouldn't say "blew", because good sushi is never a waste of money. God I love that shit!

GhazAllOva · 01-26-2007, 05:44 PM

Detach yourself from whatever you're doing and do something you don't normally do. Fatigue could be another reason. Make sure you're eating properly, drinking fluids, resting, and exercising.

Hopefully the sushi did it for you.

Take a vacation, a real vacation. Leave the laptop at home. Go to spain. Or China. Or rent a sailboat and go find tom neales island. But get away.

Napolean · 01-26-2007, 06:28 PM

A new work environment might give you a boost in productivity.. try moving things around in your office, switching corners or something.

sweetcuties · 01-26-2007, 06:32 PM

Think about the guy above you and how that fucker got the bigger house and more toys=)

I agree with the perfect lifestyle you described.

Scott McD · 01-26-2007, 06:49 PM

Go on vacation, nail some whores, then start over again...

DateDoc · 01-26-2007, 07:49 PM

find a way to break the monotony of your work. change things up do something different.

wyldworx · 01-26-2007, 07:50 PM

Buy a bmw, and be done with it!

RawAlex · 01-26-2007, 07:53 PM

Okay, my trick is this: When you lose your focus, it is often because you have either hit a goal or set a goal that is too far away to accomplish. Basically, you can't get a grip in the next step.

Take a day off and go do something relaxing that doesn't involve anything to do with work. Go boarding or take a long drive or anything that completely takes your mind away from work. Don't think about it in the slightest.

The next day, sit down first thing and revise your goals. Reset yourself, setting the first step in the chain as something that can easily be achieved.

Enjoy.

Spunky · 01-26-2007, 07:59 PM

So what happened?

Nicolette · 01-28-2007, 06:41 PM

either a long hard run, preferrably outdoors with a fantastic view

or vacation, which should include nothing more than sitting your buns on the beach or by the pool and not moving for at least 4 days

pick the option that best suits your level of need to get away

I suggest you take some time off. Your mind and body need to REST.
