What worked well for me was pretty simple: If I got too chuffed with what I completed, I'd meditate for 5-10 mins to ground myself, then look for the next task. If I got really distracted and found myself unable to keep my attention, meditation also helped with that. To keep things on-track, I recommend a meditation app or guided meditations on youtube so you aren't relying on your own burnt-out self-discipline.


Any specific mediation or just the normal close your eyes and breathe kind?

So your solution is meditation? Could you elaborate. When you are finding yourself struggling to keep attention? What do you do? Meditate and then return to the task?
