We all know that it can be hard to concentrate on a task when you are stressed. You find your mind wandering right back to what you are most stressed about every time you try to focus on the chore at hand. I have found that coloring for short periods of time can be a mindless distraction. Better yet, it doesn't have to be one of those cartoon characters that your kids color either. Find an adult coloring book or app that is a bit more complex with various designs and graphics.
Take a few minutes during lunch or at night when you're watching TV. It won't work for everyone but I certainly think it is worth a shot.
