Understand your triggers – what makes you think faster or more slowly
The power of understanding your triggers is vast. Taking the time to analyze how certain stimuli can affect your thought process is an incredibly useful tool when it comes to improving mental health and general productivity. For example, if you find yourself feeling lethargic or overloaded, perhaps it’s because you need a change of scenery, a different kind of music playing in the background, or maybe just a break from social media? On the other hand, if you need help getting motivated or refocusing on something important, try writing down your ideas with pen and paper instead of typing them out on a computer. Your triggers could be anything from sound, scent, temperature to color tones or visual patterns. It’s essential that you experiment constantly to figure out what works best for you. Don’t be afraid to make tweaks and adjustments as needed![8]
