Focus is something a lot of people struggle with, and most of the advice out there starts and ends with “put your phone away.” But for plenty of adults, that doesn’t solve the problem. The harder part is getting a racing or anxious mind to settle down enough to focus.
Olander Earthworks surveyed 106 mental health and allied practitioners, and anxiety and racing thoughts were cited more often than digital distraction, 64% to 50%.
100 of the 106 practitioners also shared the routines their clients use to get into focused work, from taking a short walk or changing rooms to making coffee or doing something with their hands first. For someone who’s already tried removing distractions and still struggles to focus, it offers another way to think about the problem and a few practical things they can actually try.
