In these modern days we are surrounded with SO much information, technology, shiny new objects and loud voices screaming at us from all sides, how IS it possible to stay focused?
First, let''s take a look at what exactly IS focus.
Focus is defined as "the concentration of attention or energy on something".
That word "concentration" suggests that it will take some effort to really be able to focus right? That is very true IF you want to be in control of your destiny.
In order to stay in control of the direction and destiny of your life, you will need to keep your attention fixed on your dreams, life passions, the goals and action plans you have set.
This WILL take effort. If you do not make this effort, you will be tossed around by all of the external influences that cross your path. Your concentration will suffer.
The day you stop making a determined effort to stay focused, is the day that you will be tossed around by all of the influences that cross your path.
It is easier to maintain than to regain!
It will take more effort to regain your concentration on your goals that it does to maintain it each day.
How to maintain your focus:
- Take some time every evening to plan your next day.
- Take some time each morning to prepare yourself by reading, listening to or watching some good motivation teachings. You can download some good free mp3s and mp4s here.
- Follow your action plan.
- Make sure you take scheduled breaks. Some recommend every 90 minutes. I find that to be very helpful. I can get a lot more done in blocks of 60-90 minutes with a break in between.
- Evaluate your day in the evening. Ask yourself: What did I do today that took me one step (even one tiny step) towards achieving my dreams?
