Focus is very vital to achieving success. If you fail to reach your goal, it could be due to several reasons and one of them will be “broken focus”. A focused person can achieve more than 1000 persons who are merely interested.
To accomplish meaningful goals, we must be focused on what really matters in life.
Life is like a camera, focus on what is important and capture it. Your focus determines your reality. If you focus on being tired and how long the day will be, you’ll have a long and uneventful day. If you focus on how great the day will be, you will have a good day.
This may seem simplistic but it’s true, it is the power of focus.
Importance of being fосuѕed.
Being focused simplifies your life. It helps you focus on only the goals that harmonizes with your dream.
Your stress level is reduced when you are focused on a task. It helps you become single minded and your creativity kicks in. New ideas connected with the task at hand flows to you and helps you get the work done faster.
Productivity requires focus. It’s about setting constraints. The constraints act as a filter to keep out distractions while letting in only those things that will help you get your work done efficiently.
Wouldn’t уоu аgrее wіth me that lack of focus іѕ a great hindrance іn pursuing what уоu really want іn lіfе? A drеаm can never be асhіеvеd іf you do not fосuѕ on attaining it.
Your focus will determine the level of success you achieve. When your focus is aligned with your actions, it will produce great results.
How to remain focused.
- Focus on the task at hand
This involves complete focus on the goal or task you set before yourself. So much so that it seems that you have lost track of time. Clear away every distraction. Eliminate as many visual or auditory distractions around you as possible.
- Train your mind to focus
Focusing on illness will never create good health. Focusing on a problem will only magnify it, it will not proffer the solution. Train your mind to focus on the result you want to achieve from what you have set out to do. Bring the joy and thrills into the moment and focus on it.
Practice concentration and commit your attention to a single task. If you find your mind wandering, stop the wandering thought and return to the task at hand.
- Plan your work.
Always have a plan. When you don’t know what you are supposed to be doing, your mind will keep wandering around and priorities will be misplaced. When you have a plan stating what you need to do, when do you need to do it and the deadline, it becomes easier to focus and stay focused.
I saw a book titled, “Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence” by Daniel Goleman, I found the title quite catchy because I am also striving to achieve excellence in everything I do, and this summarizes the power of focus. To achieve excellence or anything of value in life, career, relationship…. you name it. Focus is the driver.
