Finding Focus When It Is Hard To Find

 Blog post - take two.

I started writing about an hour ago, but nothing I wrote made sense to my muddled brain. There is nothing wrong with me other than a bit of grief and lots of things on my to-do list that have to be finished in the next two days before I head back to work. I am having some difficulty focusing on any task for more than about three minutes before my brain shuttles me off to something else, so this post may not make a bunch of sense.

It is difficult for me to focus right now. I'm not entirely sure why. So, when this happens to me, I rely on my book of things to do.

Here are the things that I have to finish today - if I get nothing else done, these things need to happen...

  • produce Sunday School video
  • upload said video
  • fold laundry
  • put laundry in closet
  • strap fingers 3 more times (already did one)
  • finish CBMT application for Monthly Music Therapy Meets!
  • cook something
  • eat
  • drink as much water as possible

I have started the laundry. The last load has just finished drying, so it is ready to be piled on the bed to wait folding. I am in the process of making the Sunday School video - it takes quite a bit of time to edit these things together. I washed the big dishes yesterday, so I am ready to cook a bit today. I want a pineapple upside down cake but there is no one to make one for me, so I guess I will have to make my own.

On days like this, I find that writing things down does help me find a bit of focus. I like using the plethora of small sticky notes that I have at my fingertips at all times to line out these tasks in a way that I can rip up and throw away when I am finished with them. I like removing them completely rather than crossing them off or out.

I need to focus on the video, so I am going to close this post and get going. Thanks for being here, even when I can't seem to get from one end of the sofa to another without becoming distracted...

Dear AMTA

Dear American Music Therapy Association: I am debating long and hard about remaining in this relationship. I have been in this relationship since college, and this is not a decision that I am taking lightly or without great cost.  I am not happy with what you are bringing to this relationship. Now, I have been a selfish partner over the past several years - mainly because I am not feeling like we share a common mission anymore. It is easy for me to place the blame on you, but I know that this is not all on me. I have tried to be invested in communication and support and understanding, but everyone comes to a time where enough is enough. I am trying very hard to decide if the benefits that you provide to me are worth the feelings that I have about where I think you and I are going. I am not sure that our destination is the same anymore, and this makes me sad. To be completely honest, I am only in this relationship these days for the music therapy interns. I don't think that is a hea...

Songwriting Sunday: Repetition

Image
One of the things that I find to be helpful with my client population (children, adolescents, and young adults with dual diagnoses) is repetition of phrases, lyrics, and music. As a result of 30+ years of working with this population in various iterations, I have found that my clients respond the most to songs with three repeated phrases to prime their responses with a different phrase to communicate the important part of the experience. DISCLAIMER: This is not a definite way to write music for clinical interactions. This is what seems to work well with my particular group of human beings. Don't go to your supervisors and tell them that I told you that this is the ONLY way to write music - It is NOT! You have to find what works for your clients and for their clinical goals. Since my clients respond well to this type of song, I tend to write songs in this format more than any other. What I have found is that my clients remember these songs more than the ones that I do in different f...

Being An Internship Director: On Hiatus

Image
It has been long enough since I have had an intern that I am seriously feeling like I have little to say on the subject. At the same time, I am currently writing Chapter 5 of my general internship handbook, so I am able to write about being an intern and what types of things to think about during this important time in our professional development. It is a strange place to be in, and it is one that is a bit challenging for me. Right now, I have had three vacant internship positions since the beginning of the calendar year. I will have a vacant position next month and that will be an entire year of rejected offers. In the past nine months, I have offered positions to three applicants who have declined. It is interesting how people complain that there aren't enough internship programs, but programs like mine are empty. I guess there aren't enough internship programs that pay large stipends (which mine cannot) out there. I get it. It is interesting to me how we have moved from an ...
