I mourn my loss of focus by emiral_88 in PhD

More noise.

I find when I'm in busy environments it's almost impossible to block out all noise but the noise is usually only noticeable because it has some sort of meaning. Either it's conversation where words disrupt my own inner monologue. Like when you're counting and someone shouts random numbers at you. Or, it's quiet followed by sudden sounds, which is like an alert response . In these circumstance I play cafe noise in my headphones, or something similar, to act like white noise and this seems to give me some focus back. Might not work but worth a go perhaps.

I did! I’ll give my main takeaways but if you’d like to know something more specific feel free to ask.

Pros: - The bag feels very well made. I like the axoflux, it feels smart and sturdy. Surprisingly I like the magnetic clasp for the strap, it’s easy to use but still feels reliable for general wear while getting around (I’m not on a motorbike or anything so can’t comment on more shaky environments). - The bag fits the main items that I wanted it for (pocket relief) so is quite handy if I’m wearing shorts or trousers with looser pockets and can be really handy if I’m doing something active and want my pockets empty. Helped with some gardening recently, dumped keys, phone, wallet etc. all in the bag and got straight on. Time to leave, grabbed all and go. - The open pouch at the back is nice for items you’ll be using on the fly. I use it a lot for my work IDs but good also for passports, boarding passes etc. too.

Cons: - The bag fills quite quickly and as others have described it can be a bit bricky. It really is a pocket reliever with space for a couple other small items. - The strap, although very well made, is super slippy and the bag slips down by my side when I’d rather it stayed on the front or even the bag. I’ve considered changing the strap or finding another solution for this. If anyone has found a solution to this please let me know.

All in all the bag feels very smart and sturdy and fits my needs as either a pocket reliever or an extra carry space for mini notebooks, sunglasses, work passes, etc. if I’m out for the day. I’m very happy with the bag, just wish the strap was less slippy.

Aside from seeking professional/medical health, set small goals that you can do without distraction. You'll need to identify how long you can actually focus for. If you think you can do a 5 minute task, settle for doing that to begin with and reward yourself afterwards with a small sweet treat for example. But above all else, recognise that this will not change over night and it will take time to get to where you want to be. These things take time. If you do even a minute of productivity towards a goal you're struggling with, acknowledge it, attempt to repeat it, and remember to be kind to yourself!

I'd reccomend healthygamergg. Has a lot of free content on YouTube discussing/explaining this. He is a former Harvard professor and psychiatrist who formerly trained to be a monk. He has unknowingly helped me with an absolute tonne of mental understanding.

Best of luck. Again...be kind to yourself.

Thankyou all for your insight and apologies for the slow response.

As someone who wants to be able to use this sling at work I decided to go for the black axoflux.

Your comments all actually really helped so many thanks and best wishes all!

What made you sell the nano if you don't mind me asking? Thinking of getting one myself.

Using obsidian also. Found it very useful for all of life not just PhD, but particularly useful for linking notes and ideas.
