Hi Gertrude – I’m so glad that you found this article useful enough to read until the end! I mean, it was quite long… 😅

Yes, sometimes a distraction simply indicates a need that we need to satisfy… like stretching or drinking some water! And I know what you mean with the feeling of guilt – I used to have it all the time and still sometimes do. But I realised that making myself feel guilty about my inability to focus was never helpful.

So, I’m trying to approach my pursuit to be productive with more kindness and self-compassion now. I hope you can do the same 😊

Thanks for your thoughtful comment and all the best!
