I'm identifying that I handle frustration in a very ineffective manner. I find myself getting frustrated, and if I'm being intelligent, I'll remove myself from the task at hand and try working on something else. I think this would work, as I'm removing myself from the source of frustration.
However, I'm already in a frustrated place, and it usually affects the task that I've switched to. I'm finding it normal that I start to get stuck/frustrated with this task (And usually a lot more quickly than I was from the first one). Then I repeat this cycle, getting a little more frustrated each time, and getting stuck more quickly than the last. Until I basically blow up and lose focus on everything.
My goal is to try to identify more quickly when I get frustrated, and do what I mentioned yesterday about totally removing myself and taking some deep breathes. Frustration is what I believe to be the main source of distraction for me. I hope that removing it will help keep me in a better mood and more productive.
