File It In Your Brain For Later

Sometimes I have a distracting thought come up and it’s hard to stay focused on another task. One option I’ve used is:

1. Start noticing when a distracting thought or task comes up
2. Visualize filing it away in your brain
3. Look at it later

This lets me acknowledge the thought and file it away until I need it.

When you notice a distracting thought visualize filing it in your brain and look at it later.
