It\u2019s okay to admit that your business is noisy. One day might mean hundreds of decisions, conversations, and insights. Even when we\u2019re not listening to others talk, we\u2019re talking to ourselves. Every thought we have doesn\u2019t quietly drop in to say hello, it comes in full-charge so it can get our attention and we have to pay attention to it immediately.<\/p>\n
Luckily, we\u2019ve gotten good at blocking out the immense amount of noise in our heads, but no matter what, all of that noise<\/em> takes a toll on us. Sometimes it takes a toll in ways we don\u2019t notice until one day, we break down and forget what we\u2019re doing six times in a day. Sometimes we can\u2019t think at all, and we still have to make those big decisions that affect our business.<\/p>\n So how do we return our focus and quiet down the noise in a more permanent way?<\/p>\n Unplug and Play<\/strong><\/p>\n Stop focusing so much on work. It\u2019s okay to whip out some M&Ms sometimes and enjoy a snack. If you\u2019re really overwhelmed, don\u2019t be afraid to stash some coloring sheets in your office. It might sound really silly, and it is, but sometimes that\u2019s exactly what you need to refocus yourself and get back on track.<\/p>\n
