HOW TO FOCUS IN THE FACE OF DISTRACTION
To overcome distraction (which we will dive into right after this) you must identify what distraction is in your life and how it side rails you. As with anything, it’s impossible to address something that you don’t have a strong grasp on or mastery of in your own awareness.
My personal distractions I identified:
Comparison
Self-doubt
Embarrassment
Lack of urgency / procrastination
Absence of belief
Over fatigue and inability to focus
OVERCOMING DISTRACTION / HOW TO MINIMIZE IT IN YOUR LIFE
- Know what matters to you
- Know the obstacles that lie ahead
- Know how to plan ahead
- Know your limits
- Know how to ask for help
DISTRACTION IS SOMETHING YOU CAN CONTROL
Refuse to buy into being busy.
Reduce the distractions you allow into your life
Stop trying to multi-task.
Focus on doing what you can do, well, and ask for help for the rest
