Become Fully Focused

We live in a distracting world, and it doesn't help that our attention spans are about 7 seconds. We are so used to things being available to us at the click of a button, and if we aren’t getting results as fast as we hoped, it’s common to move on. There is a way to become more focused than the average person. I listed some of those steps here for you.

1. Don’t Overwhelm Yourself. Never try and do more than you can handle. If you do, you won’t give 100% to any of the tasks. Do what you know you can manage and take it one thing at a time.
2. Take Out Time To Rest And Relax. Don’t feel guilty about taking time to recharge. I was notorious for going to sleep late and waking up early. I’d get burned out and just crash. My level of focus on even the smallest tasks was mediocre at best. Once I began managing my time better and incorporating rest into my schedule, there was an apparent increase in my ability to focus.
3. Eliminate Distractions. Block out everything that isn’t relevant to the task at hand. It’s easy to pick up our phones, engage in side conversations, or let TV grab our attention. Remember that your entertainment isn’t going anywhere, and your important tasks will take up much less time than you think. It is now leaving you with more time to do your leisure activities.
4. Don’t Be Afraid To Say No. If you never say no, your yes has no value. You don’t have to be there for everybody or every event. Create a bubble around yourself and don’t be so accessible. If you never say no, you’ll get pulled every which way and have no direction for yourself.
5. One Task At A Time. Multi-tasking is always a hot topic. There is a time and place for it, though. Write down your weekly and daily goals and put all of your energy into doing that one task.
