Thanks for the comment! Glad to hear it's useful. I have used Freedom before and liked it too.

I knew focus was a huge part of my issue. But you framed all of this in an original way that helped me understand better what was happening and what I could do about it.

I bought a “forever” subscription to Freedom ages ago. But haven’t hardly used it. Now? Because of your post? I’ll start using this app on all my devices.

FYI for anyone curious about a Freedom:

Thank you so much for this enlightening post!

That's fantastic, Susan! I was so surprised to see how much of a difference this simple tool makes in my productivity and creativity. Plus I feel more focused in general--not so stressed and fragmented much of the time. I'm so happy this is helpful. Thanks for the comment!

I love this, Sandra: " I'm practicing to progress, not aim for perfection." I try to remind myself all the time that good enough is good enough, and it's the doing that matters, not a certain result. Love that you're writing for yourself and letting yourself enjoy it--as part of honoring yourself. Sorry to hear about your fibromyalgia--that's a tough one to navigate.

Hope you're enjoying your cocoon! Thanks for the comment.

Yaaaassss. Frankly all the time we're doing things that matter to us, I think. Thanks for stopping by, Denise.

Yesterday after reading it, I was like a dog chasing squirrels and distracted. Today, I turned off my laptop's internet connection for 1 hour writing sprints and wow, what a difference in productivity! Thank you for your insights!

I've been on a Discovery tour with myself in the hard lockdowns that Victoria Australia has experienced. I'm in my twilight years, with a huge life - and now is the time to work on the 30 plus years of writings that are in my cabinets, drawers and yes, on my desk (this is being tended to..) I'm a storyteller and so giving myself permission to go ahead. I practice Mindfulness, and with Fibromyalgia, doing Tai Chi and Yoga breathing and balance. A regime that is paramount to my wellbeing. The Cherokee wisdom is a favorite of mine. Feed the good wolf is the way to go. And not being too hard on myself, as the journey is the thing. Sitting and signing my books may not happen; but I'm practicing to progress, not aim for perfection. We've never had the press button access to the world as now - I'm happy to cocoon myself in my study and do what's vital to my wellbeing. I do have more of a caring role now with my beautiful husband - but we're blessed to be able to laugh and also cry at harsh realities of being alive and challenged. Not overload of news is a help - as a lot of poison is there, so not to grab hold is the recipe for Wellbeing. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Thanks for being so honest. I was told a long time ago that I'm more American than Aussie with wanting to express what I feel. But like the Hippocratic Oath - first do no harm. (but in our stories you can tell it like it is).
