Job Update and Focus Lost - Focus Regain?
I Need To Refocus but Need a Break
The truth is, I have been at this for weeks during Lockdown. A Job offer came to break the run I was having at WA. I went on online training last Thursday. It was supposed to continue on Friday, but the prospective employers just disappeared of the radar without a word, nor email.
I called and a message said that the next pages of training will be e-mailed out within the next few days. I'm not sure I want the job anymore.
I have been too tried to concentrate, so while we had this gorgeous day her in Scotland I explored taking the least trodden path and discovered this beach in the pic above. It continued for a few miles, with hardly a soul on it. I enjoyed the walk and it was just what I needed.
I need to overcome this difficulty of doing research for my next post somehow, When I do, it will also mean I complete the next phase of training.
I will be grateful for some ideas on how to get research for article content done.

Hello Chris, we all lose a bit of focus sometimes.
Content can be very challenging, but here are a few ideas.
Put down in writing what you already know about the subject.
Then Google the subject and read a few articles that others have written. While reading jot down things that come to mind or things you think they have missed about the subject.
Try to think of a different angle to approach the subject.
If you don't agree with something that has been written, write about why you think it is wrong. Nothing is wrong with being a bit controversial.
Hope this helps.

Taking a break usually does the trick and helps to bring out something that was just on the tips of your "tongue" so to speak.
For me taking a break will open up thoughts and ideas that I can use. Just need to remember to have a note pad and pencil next to me.
Trying to use a recorder, but I always misplace it or worse yet dead batteries. lol Take care and God bless you.
