By Chris Griffiths and Caragh Medlicott, below, authors of The Focus FixIf we asked you to name a creative person, chances are you’d pick someone well-known. An artist, perhaps – or an inventor. Because of the clear correlation between creativity and success, we tend to bestow a type of prestige on creative ability. This isn’t, in and of itself, a bad thing.

Excerpted from The Focus Fix: Finding clarity, creativity and resilience in an overwhelming world by Chris Griffiths and Caragh Medlicott (out 3 July 2024, published by Kogan Page). When was the last time you felt truly removed from the trials and tribulations of your day-to-day life? If I asked a few decades ago, you might have given a couple of different answers. Perhaps you’d have mentioned your last holiday. Or a time you escaped to the beach or countryside.

Nearly three-quarters of us have felt so stressed that we’ve been left feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope. In a world full of distractions and notifications, where the pace of life often feels like a treadmill set to sprint-mode, many of us are finding ourselves trapped in this cycle of busyness and brain fog. But is there a way out? Chris Griffiths and Caragh Medlicott, authors of The Focus Fix: Finding Clarity, Creativity and Resilience in an Overwhelming World, certainly think so.

A truly productive day is a satisfying thing. There’s no better feeling than closing your laptop knowing that all your to-dos are ticked off. And yet, for many of us, this sense of achievement is not one we actually get to experience often. Instead, we’re more likely to end the day feeling harried and stressed — like we didn’t get all that we needed to done, and this is often despite us trying our best and going into the day with good intentions.

PHOTO CREDIT: Yurii Karvatskyi 我們總是努力追求生產力，因為能夠平衡工作與生活、完成所有任務並且仍有餘力享受日常，這是一種無與倫比的感覺。然而，對於許多人來說，我們並不能經常享受這種感覺。 畢竟生活中的挑戰從未停止過，從滿滿的電子郵件到堆積如山的家事，每天應對這些事可以說是一場戰鬥。這正是現代世界的一個巨大悖論。 我們擁有比以往更多的科技設備，原本是為了讓生活變得更輕鬆，然而，因為它們會不斷地發出通知聲，這些產品反而增加了你我的壓力。在這種情況下，我們該如何找到時間來完成真正重要的事情呢？ 這種忙碌文化會導致許多人所說的「忙碌傻瓜症候群（Busy Fool Syndrome）」，它指的是一種有害的生活方式，人們總是忙個不停，但成果卻很少達到自己的理想；相反，他們還會陷入緊急狀況和溝通的泥沼中，幾乎沒有時間做真正重要的工作。 這種狀況非常危險，常常讓我們面臨過勞的風險，更糟的是，對於許多人來說，這種症候群是我們在不知不覺中養成的。 那麼，來參加我們的測驗，看看你是否患上了「忙碌傻瓜症候群」。加以了解後，你就可以學習如何停止忙碌，重回生產力復甦的道路！...

Chris Griffiths and Caragh Medlicott advise on boosting feelings of wellbeing in the officeMotivation is a mysterious thing. Sometimes it seems to strike us out of nowhere. On such days, we might spring out of bed and greet the day ahead with enthusiasm. Our chores get done, we rattle through our tasks with ease, and everything else — from social occasions to exercise — seem to slot in with uncharacteristic ease.
