Whether you play the sandbox daily or occasionally, it is extremely useful to create a list of what you aim to do in it. Creating a list and keeping it on your phone screen or a Post-it note will keep you focused on the task at hand and not let your mind wander too much.

For example, you can create a list of certain areas of the base you want to work on or prepare for a certain farm, etc.

Although you might still be tempted to do other activities, a list can help keep you on track, especially if you have bigger projects in mind.

Minecraft is filled with all kinds of biomes, structures, mobs, and even dimensions to explore endlessly. Hence, there will be times when you find new activities to indulge in while doing a particular task.

In this case, you can simply mark whatever side activity that came up and keep working on the task at hand. If it is a new area that you want to explore, mark down the coordinates of that area. If it is a new farm or structure idea, make a separate note that you can check in the future.

While playing Minecraft, you can come up with loads of ideas extremely quickly, especially since the game offers so many items, blocks, mobs, and more all at once. However, it is worth mentioning that before getting side-tracked with different tasks, you can write it down and let the idea settle in your mind for a while before you execute it. You might notice that you often think of better ways to go about that particular activity.
