Having a bad focus day--what to do?

I'm having a terrible focus day and don't know what to do with myself. I can't go take a walk because it's nearly 100 degrees (plus, on an unrelated note, my a/c seems to be on the fritz and maintenance can't come until tomorrow). I have a lot of things I should be doing, but I can't even settle on one. What helps you on your bad focus days?

Re: Having a bad focus day--what to do?

Freeze water, soda, etc. Put on a fan, buy ice blocks/ slurpee slushie things. Lie on the kitchen/bathroom floors or anywhere cool.

For almost 27 years I've lived through every unbearable hot Australian summer day without air con even installed in the home or car. So I've come up with some solutions to escape the heat. Wearing just underwear around the home is encouraged but optional.

If you can't focus just hyper focus on getting cool.

My early morning ritual involves hyper focusing on getting warm. I'm wearing a think long coat now and just finished some warm oatmeal. Going to have a nice warm shower too.
