Staying Focused
Q:
"My job requires me to attend lots of boring lectures and conferences. Knitting keeps me focused, but my employer won’t let me knit. What else might help?"
A:
Have you explained to your boss how a "mindless activity," like knitting, helps you sit quietly and focus on the speaker? If he still says no to knitting, find another activity that is a bit more discreet—fiddling with linked paperclips, playing with a loop of yarn, or taking notes and doodling on the page could do the trick. Experiment to find the "fidget" that works best for you.
