How to be Focused on Work as a Writer or multi-professional

We, as humans, are obsessed with different things in our lives. Everyone is different in their interest, passions, goals, or dreams. But all have a "wish to be successful" as a common trait. Some people are very determined to accomplish their goals, while some people are fed up halfway through their journey very quickly. A variety of people differ from each other in every aspect of their life. Most people are mad after some particular thing, which means they have a single obsession in their life. For instance, some people might be crazy about money. Many people are obsessed with becoming famous personalities. Many people might want to be doctors, engineers, or artists. But the strange little category is those people who want to do lots of things at a time. I am talking about multi-passionate people. These people want to do lots of things in this little life. They are not limited to a single dream or passion. Their curious nature keeps them pinching to explore some new things and learn more. Yes, I also belong to this strange or little crazy category. This might sound extraordinary or excellent to have lots of passion or goals in life, but practically, it's not that easy to perform well in all directions. Multi-passionate people are more prone to be distracted easily. They also experienced additional challenges in their journey. I was observing myself and my work performance over the last few months. I was facing hurdles on my way to whatever I was doing. I decided to rule out what this hurdle was that hindered my excellency in work. I concluded it's a "distraction." After being clear about the reason, it was time to find the solution. I work on it and find ways to be less distracted while working on particular tasks. This works for me, and I hope it will work for you as well.

Especially these strategies are for those working as a writer, artists, or photographers.

#1. Relax your mind

Just relax your mind before you start working on any task. For an instant, if you are going to write for your writing blog, shut down all noises inside your mind. Don't put even a single word on paper until you are not adequately ready for it. Writing is a mind job that requires lots of creativity and excellence. Make your mind wholly prepared for it so you can write exactly what you have inside your mind. Because sometimes, a writer can't put the exact idea on paper of what is flowing in his/her head. If there is a mess or noise inside your mind, it will come out on the paper as the same instead of your real idea. To relax your mind, you can do a little warm-up or ready-to-do activities:

Close your eyes for a while, let all the extra things go away, and focus on the topic you want to write about. If you decide to write something, just think about writing and forget about other tasks, interests, or goals of yours.

You can do your favourite activity like listening to a soft and relaxing, meditating subliminal to calm your mind.

You can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee before or during writing to make your mind more active yet persistent, on a specific task (writing).

Do some research work before stepping in. Get a healthy amount of knowledge and make a rough draft about the topic you want to write. It will bring fluency to the work.

Here, writing is used as an example. But you can perform all these little steps whether you are going to paint your canvas, photography, or any creativity.

#3. Respect your body

To be excellent in your work, you should also be prepared physically because your mind and body are interlinked. You can not perform anything good if you are mentally disturbed despite your good physical condition. In the same way, you cannot perform well if your body is not well. So if your body is tired, it is essential to rest your body and give it the proper time to be prepared for work. The craving for writing, photography, and paintings could be originated at any time. I confess this based on my experience; your experience might be different. Because sometimes I crave to paint something even when I am fatigued. Whenever I try to paint in this condition, I am failed to get satisfactory results. Therefore, respecting your body is very important.

#2. Be focused

Don't think about another task till you are not done with the first. Don't leave your first task in between. Because if you leave it halfway, you'll never become focused while performing any other activity. The first incomplete work will keep pinching you. As a result, you'll be distracted. You cannot perform well in the second activity, nor your first task will be done nicely. So, fix your time for a particular activity, be focused on it, complete it, and then move to the next.

#3. Choose what you crave for

Choose to do what you crave. Don't rush for an activity you are not craving at that moment. For instant, writing, painting, and photography require lots of creativity and your full attention. These things are directly or indirectly linked with your heart (you might have an idea if you love these activities). You might like all the things altogether. But you never crave for all simultaneously, or it might be the case. But choose the craving of your specific moment. For instant, If I am craving to do photography, I'll go for it. And if I crave writing and painting at the same time. I" ll choose the activity in which the craving is more intense. You might also decide which one is easy to do at the moment.

Final thought

People involved in multiple activities face many distractions and difficulties completing their tasks. So, it is essential to draft your schedules and make some strategies to follow. The step I have mentioned above works for me. You can try them, or you can rule out your own.
