How do you manage to focus on your work when so many things are falling apart?

It's a rule that when one aspect of life is going well, the others are somehow failing.

At the moment, things couldn't be better on the work front:

• I have a great team, and the company is doing well.

• I'm praised for the results I deliver and the progress I'm making.

• My networks are growing, and there's more and more interest in my sponsorships.

• More people want to work together.

• And I'm co-organising 2 offline events.

But suddenly, for some reason, other things start to go wrong, e.g. a family member ends up in the hospital, there are also a lot of negative things in the news affecting my country and indirectly me and my focus, etc.

Suddenly, it's impossible to fully concentrate all that energy on your work when the negativity from your personal life spills over into your work life.

How do you cope with personal negatives that affect your work life and work efficiency?

Basics that have helped me so far, but still trying to find more:

• Join a running club (I usually exercise alone on my own, but now I need people)

• Attend offline events

• Have a family (also through taking turns with a sick member in the hospital)
