Daily Journal #7: Struggling with Focus

Today, I was pleased with how much I was able to get done, but I did find it quite challenging to stay focused on what I was doing for any extended amount of time. I ended up starting a quick painting that didn't take much thought since I have had the idea for several days, but to me the idea seems a little cliche for my taste. I decided to paint despite having limited time because for me, just the act painting presses a figurative reset button that allows me to either calm down when I'm stressed out or it helps me to focus on what I need to get done; it all depends on what I need at the given time. Hopefully tomorrow I am able to focus on what I need to do a little bit better.
