So you're not FOCUSED, eh?

So you have been complaining that you are not a focused person? 'Too much things going around you', you say?

Here's one important question for you ----- "What IS the MOST important part of your work? Identify what is the most important part, and eliminate unnecessary trivial, small, little tasks that screams for your attention most of the time.

Imagine this - if you are plowing, to get a straight furrow, you need to look at a stationary object and start plowing. However, if you decide to become narrow, short-minded person - well, you'll look at the wheels going doing merry-go-round or even looking and avoiding for small stones. The results - a crooked furrow. Hence, looking far and long ranged - will create straight furrow. Apply this to yourself.

Here's some useful tips to stay focused -

a) Write down your Long-term goals and be precise. write down clearly and specifically. i.e. you want to have a million dollar by the age of 30 years old

b) Read, read and read your goals everyday, every hour, every second if you can. this will help you maintain your focus.

c) Eliminate trivial, unproductive tasks. think "By completing this, will it help me to achieve my goals" (note - please do yourself a favour - don't justify and argue too much with yourself - get disciplined!) (Like how will playing Playstation 2 will help you to be rich? No, you will not be employed by big game-developing company and be paid handsomely)

Well, go figure.

Long range view = you create a straight line - i.e. focused
Short range view = you'll get crooked line - i.e. not focused.

CHEERS.
