dumb and random tricks that keeps me focused on my corporate job:

trimming my nails (helps me type faster)

washing hands and applying a scented hand cream (idk why this works, alternatively wearing rings sometimes helps my brain)

noise cancelling earphones + white noise

not using the extended displays and only keep the tabs required open on my laptop screen

focus on ONE task at a time no matter what (and especially when 100 people claim they need something instantly)

using an insane amount of labels for my gmail inbox

use the coffee mugs with handles for all kinds of liquids/beverages (especially cold ones because i HATE having cold hands and i HATE touching cold things it itches my insides)

if working from home - use clash royale merge tactics game as a mental ticking bomb to finish dreadful tasks like the email that appears to be draining me for no reason

please add more unhinged things which can be oddly helpful in being focused in the office

It is okay to make mistakes. They are my teachers.

we talk about doing it scared and doing it alone but what about doing it uninterested

doing things at the right age is literally a made up concept. you can start/pursue anything at any age. btw.

does anyone else get academic zoomies? when everything starts to connect and your writing enters a flow state and everything is falling into place that you need to get up and pace around or scribble it down immediately or you'll forget it because you're so excited

you’re trying? that’s what matters and yes, it really does matter
