Why Focus Is Not Hocus-Pocus

In life, sometimes we lose focus.

We get distracted and lose track of time.

This can happen to the best of us. Even me.

Here are 3 tips on why focus is not a hocus-pocus magic trick.

Are you ready? Let's focus.

Tip #1: Focus leads to discipline in your decisions.

Looking inside yourself is the key.

When you lose focus, you lose discipline.

You don't set boundaries.

Things go bad.

And it shows.

We don't know what to do next.

Fix your focus to fix your foundation.

Tip #2: When you focus, you build your behavior to focus.

Apps are temporary band-aids.

It is hard.

Even we are our own enemies.

Look deep into yourself of why you can't focus.

It takes reflection and honesty.

Tip #3: When you are laser-focused, nothing distracts you.

Two words can help you.

"Stay focused."

Be on guard to stay on guard.

Here are the benefits:

- You get things done.

- You master your own behavior.

- You learn what distracts you and what to do about it.

- You realize that it takes time to focus and refocus.

Even going from day to day takes a toll on you.

From this article, my hope is for you to take one tip and focus.

Focus on what's important to you.

Dig deep.

Deepen your focus.

Focus on what's important today.

Focus is like a camera: it's all about how you adjust.

Great article, Craig. Agreed on how deep reflection can reveal a lot about why you are having trouble focusing. If you can then be honest and take action with those realizations- a lot of magic can then happen. No hocus pocus needed!

Great reminder, Craig! My quick tip for focus: remove notifications from your phone, or leave the phone in another room whenever possible. The more electronic gadgets around us, the less focus we have on the task in front of us.
