Three areas of insights for improving focus, from this afternoon’s long run: needs, defense, techniques.1. Make sure your "needs" are met. If your needs are not being met, you will be distracted from whatever you are trying to focus on by those unmet needs.2. Defend against a...

Sometimes it’s good take a step back and re-assess things from the immediate like daily routines & habits, to how to focus on goals whether within weeks, months, or years. Taking bits of time off to reflect on these and related topics. The grayscale phone interface has helped me get here: https://tantek.com/2026/124/b1/may-the-focus-be-with-you-iphone-grayscale

Filed my 2025 taxes today (electronically). Payments mailed (physically).Earliest in at least a decade, maybe two.Took a very conscious and deliberate effort to get here. Prioritizing, cutting or postponing anything non-urgent, iterating and improving systems year over year (especially in coordination with an accountant), collecting clustering materials earlier, and more.Completing these kinds of "required" tasks/projects sooner feels like it frees up mental (and emotional) bandwidth (not having them occupying daily thoughts) to dream, brainstorm, and make more creative things.
