How about you?
When you are working on an important project, a big presentation, or your #1 priority for the day, do you stay focused until you have completed that task?
Or do you allow yourself to fall into the dark, deep, life-sucking vortex of multi-tasking… and kidding yourself that you are working hard. Oh sure, lots of movement, but little achievement.

My challenge for you is to stop multitasking and just GET FOCUSED.
This time of year your ability to FOCUS to truly tested.
The sun is shining, your kids are out of school and everyone around you has downshifted into that summertime lull.

It’s called “The Dog Days of Summer” for a reason.
It can be ruinous to your ability to achieve your annual goals.
Set goals one by one and develop life plans.
