In today’s world of multi-tasking – managing work, your family, your home, social media, etc… Life has become ever so complicated!

There isn’t a single moment of “quiet time” that we can afford for ourselves during the day, week, or sometimes even in a month. Life just goes by, with us spinning in place, putting out fires and living everywhere but in the moment. In order to get focused and move forward, we need to quieten the noise!

How do you quieten the noise and get focused?

Step 1: Reflect on the following questions

• What are your top 3 priorities?
• What are your top 3 distractions?

Step 2: Note down & pay attention to the following

• Do you multi-task?
• If you answered ‘yes’ to the previous question, does that truly
  make you more productive?
• Pay attention to where you can say ‘no’ more often. Saying ‘yes’ to too many people or things often means saying ‘no’ to something in your own life.
• Understand what boosts your focus and use it when needed.
• Pay attention to when and where you can do a little extra to finish off something important.

Step 3: Outline your plan in small, achievable and measurable
steps

• Devise a plan to consciously block your distractions for chunks of time during the day.
• Focus on your priorities and ensure everything you do, every single day, is moving you a step closer towards achieving them.
• Start with a one-week plan, follow through on it and assess your success on the weekend.

Step 4: Start working towards the new YOU

Are you ready to take action and make changes in your environment, habits and life? If yes, make a note of 3 actions to create more focus in your life.

Knowing about your strengths and weak links – and consciously working with them – can put you way ahead of yourself.
