I personally have issues concentrating when there is too much stimuli. It’s not possible for me to change the environment to suit my needs, so I change myself instead. I bring musicians ear plugs to work with me now which has helped tremendously.
I also have a journal, one for work and one personal. I like that you’re writing stuff down already. Keep it in one place.
Much love and support. Life is a learning experience.
"It doesn't exist if it isn't written down". Someone said that to me long ago, and it really changed my perspective.
I recently came across the PARA concept - everything we deal with falls into one of these 4 categories: Projects, Area of Responsibility, Resource, Archive.
I restructured my OneNote notebooks to use it, and it's been a game changer. Now when an idea comes my way, I can immediately categorize it so I know what to do with it (even if just on my head). I added a final R to my notebooks - Reference, because I save a lot of info that I need access to.
It surprised me that at any one time I have about 30 ongoing personal projects. Seeing them laid out as tabs in my notebook makes them more apparent, instead of just floating around in the back of my head. I've even Archived a few after seeing them languish, and realizing they were fleeting ideas I really don't need or have time for.
