True that! I got to tell you focusing is tiring. One thing I’d like to do starting tomorrow is when I’m on my medication and at work, I can sometimes go nonstop but no I shall not tomorrow. Instead I’m going maybe set myself timers to remind myself to take 5min to stretch drink sit whatever. When I go go go i in the end burn out

Welcome to the group!

I totally feel you. Sometimes the more I try to focus the harder it gets. I think like Lovinit said it’s a good idea to take breaks. I also think it’s important to remind yourself to take care of yourself; eat when your hungry, rest when your tired, ect. If your body needs something your brain will want to focus on that and not the task at hand.

A YouTuber I like once said that if you can’t focus, instead of beating yourself up you should ask yourself why and address the problem before simply pushing yourself

I just re-started yoga & in fact went just last night. My brain fights the urge to sliw down but eventually it gives in & a few moments of complete serenity!

I'll try the break thing. Thx for thr advice
