LESSON: How to Sharpen Your Focus - Part 2
It’s funny how all throughout our school days we were never taught HOW to learn and be focused, even though that’s all we supposedly did.
All the focus was on the facts and not the method.
It was just assumed, and ultimately it was hit or miss, whether or not we ended up knowing HOW to do those things at all.
Since we’re left to our own devices, it’s up to us to find ways to master our focus ability. So let's look at some more ways to take advantage of the world around us.
1. Control your internal distractions
Internal distractions are one of those problems you can’t really run away from. You need to find ways to prepare your mind for work, and find simple ways to keep it from straying to non-essential thoughts as well. Have you tried using a dedicated workstation?
2. Escape from external distractions
Is the television a distraction? Work in another room. Are the kids distracting you? Get up earlier and work before they wake up. Is the Internet distracting? Try to turn off your phone. It’s usually pretty obvious what you should do, but you still shouldn’t overlook this piece of advice.
3. Skip what you don’t know
If you hit a snag in your work then come back to it later. Focus your attention on what you CAN do. Don't work “mindlessly”. All this means is that you should focus on the simple steps first.
4. Improve your discipline with focus practice
There are a few focus exercises you can do to improve your overall discipline. Focus on Your Focus. Meditate or go jogging ... do what you must. Or just find some alone time for yourself. Find a method for building focus ability, de-stressing, and giving you greater control over your emotions.
5. Manage your momentum
Momentum helps ease the process of sticking with goals. That’s why I think it’s important that we never take true breaks from our goals. If we do, we end up losing momentum and relying on discipline to get back on track (this is not an easy thing to do). This means each and every day we need to do something significant to further our goals
So, once again, take a moment out of your day to think about these simple tactics that lead to a smoother workflow and a clearer objective. Get advice from friends about how they solve their problems.
Remember:
To change your daily habits is never an easy process but small steps can take us a great distance if we play the long game and remain persistent and don't give up.
Today's Key Words to Note & Remember:
Assume + Dedicated + Obvious + Snag + Mindless + Momentum
