I listen to music within my day and even study with it, I study the Bible and get magical insights from it, my journey this far has been beautiful and I&#8217;m glad to say I have grown and it wasn&#8217;t by my strength but because Christ is in the picture<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Deej Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually have a 30 minutes prep time. Here I turn on my diffuser, start an ambience music, ready my things &#8211; water, pens, book and notebook. Then I open my habit tracker, i do the simple tasks like checking my email, checking announcements. I do this to see if there are instructions or updates on the tasks I\u2019m doing. I check of most of these quick tasks before deep work. I use a pomodoro app to ensure I get a rest in between small work units.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Toni N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No, I do not. I focus very well in silence. So once my deep work begins, that is it. I stop when I am tired. The only prep beforehand is that I have the materials needed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alisha Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes I do. I just recently started my new job as a Junior Graphic Artist in an art gallery. I focus on doing task at a time to avoid work overload because I am avoiding the feeling of overwhelmed and stress, I also loved playing a relaxing background music to REALLY focus on the task that was given to me, and just stay organized. I do the same routines I usually do during my internship last year. I simply stayed organized, focus on one task first before doing the others to avoid overwhelmness, and play a relaxing background\/ambient music to decrease my anxiety and stress while I\u2019m working. That is all.

I also like to do it at a specific time which helps. When I start, I write down what my goals are and what I\u2019d like to get done. I also play classical music as I focus.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Krista R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Not yet. I\u2019m still trying things to see what fits best with my deep work. I\u2019ve tried getting a glass of water, forgot to drink it. I tried making a tea, forgot it on the counter. I tried writing down the things I wanted to accomplish, but I wrote down too many things and I wasn\u2019t accurate on the timing so I got overwhelmed. And I figured out changing my clothes doesn\u2019t work. The only thing that has worked more often is sitting in a different space than my \u201crelax\u201d space and open the laptop.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tanzeela M.
