Finding Focus

 

In today's fast-paced world of distractions of electronics, and media pulling us from the left to the right, both saying "Believe me, not the other guy" It is easy to get distracted from your goals and daily duties, the remedy is to find your focus and push that outside interference away from you. Here are a few steps to take to find your focus:


Step Back

Take a few steps back for a moment of self-reflection, take a look at the big picture, then break it into steps, one foot forward, do not tackle things all at once, that is overwhelming, it takes steps to complete the goal/task.


What's Important to you?

Focus on what is important to you, use a filter system, breaking it apart into fragments, such as deadlines, available time, and resources, and arrange it all towards that important goal.


Prep For Distractions

If your space is full of noise and distractions, find your happy place away from that, maybe listen to some soothing music, then you can focus on taking care of business with zero distractions, then you won't stray from your chosen path.


Friends & Family Support Units

Let your people know what is important to you, so they can be your support unit, they can help, maybe see things through a different lens, and provide a unique perspective.


Exercise

Speed walking, running, or any activity of your choice, increases blood flow and provides clarity and focus.


Get Enough Sleep

Get at least 8 hours of sleep, this helps with brain fog, and being alert and focused.


Caffeine Intake

We all love that cup of Joe, which is a temporary increase in focus, but too much can make you jittery and anxious, and distract the thinking process. Moderation is key.


Closing

By finding your focus, you will receive a wide range of benefits, such as work performance improvement, less stress and anxiety, living a purposeful life, and experiencing more happiness.
