Relentless Focus: Feeling Accomplished Can Be Easy

You wake up on the weekend, grab your coffee and sit down to review your week. Somehow you’ve managed to avoid the very tasks that meant the most to you, again.

Ticking your to-do’s off the list doesn’t bring joy and fulfillment. Relentlessly focusing on what’s highly valuable does. So why does focusing seem so difficult? Any kind of workout is difficult and this type of mind training takes work!

It’s easier to do the simple tasks rather than the ones that take more time and energy.

Here are a few steps that will improve your focus. Let’s explore them.

Your Definition Of Success Matters

Get as clear as possible about what success means to you. I remember attending a workshop led by a friend of a friend who is also a coach to leaders. Part of what each person created that night was a clear and personal definition of future success. If you don’t have this for yourself you’ll chase what makes others happy or proud of you.

Be Honest With Yourself

After defining what success means to me, this coach asked me if the goals I’d created were my own. For a second, I thought that was a rather silly question. Then I thought it was one of the best questions I’d ever been asked. Sometimes we need others to help us see more clearly.

When was the last time you asked yourself if the goals you set for yourself would truly make you happy?

Sometimes we think if others priorities are making them happy, they would make us happy too. Rather, seek out the type of success that would make you happy and don’t worry about what others might think. Worrying about how others might view you really kills your ability to focus.

When you have your own success defined you’ll have a clear picture of your priorities.
