If there’s anything that keeps people from achieving their business or personal goals, it is the lack of focus.
This particular problem is fast becoming one of the biggest to solve as it is hugely responsible for the lack of consistency, in the creative market.
It certainly isn’t one of the easiest skills to master but it could easily be one of the most powerful tools in your creative tool box. So, without further ado, here are 3 steps to help you beat distraction and 10x your focus.
STEP 1: RESPECT YOUR TIME
When you have no respect for your time it becomes increasingly difficult to force your mind to focus on one thing. Understanding that your time is finite, forces you to set priorities; that way you are able to see clearly what’s most important and deserving of your time.
STEP 2: DEFINE WHAT’S IMPORTANT
The things you don’t do, make way for the things you can do. If there is one thing you know you must do, then you must be willing to let go of the other things that demand your attention at the same time.
STEP 3: STOP MULTITASKING
Fact is, no human is omnipresent. Doing different things within a certain time frame does not mean that you are doing everything at the same time so. Now that we understand this, it’s clear that multitasking in most cases, makes you less effective so a better approach will be to schedule tasks in the order of their priorities and get them done in a timely manner.
Once you master the important skill of focus, you are well on your way to achieving huge success in your goals.
