5-4-3-2-1, A Brain Trick to Stay on Task

 Today's story is inspired by my mother who found a simple solution for task management.  If you struggle to keep your focus because your brain gets distracted, all you need to do is stop and count down, 5-4-3-2-1.  This is long enough to get your brain back to your task at hand.  It gives you the ammunition you need to silence that voice in your head that is trying to distract you.  It is especially helpful when you are doing boring chores.

Thanks, mom, for the tip.  I used this technique about ten times yesterday while organizing my home office.  The beauty of this brain trick is the simplicity.  If this works for you, please share this idea with a friend.  Have a great day.
