The ability to pay attention to things.

Our brains cannot think more than one thought at a time. Without focus, you won’t be as effective in your work because if you are distracted or unable to concentrate on the right things, you will not be capable of getting your work done. 

Focus on now. Not before. Not after. 
Apart from avoiding typical distractions such as being hungry or tired, here’s a few things you can do to focus on the task at hand without distractions or interruptions.

How to focus better
• Simplify your office by removing unnecessary clutter,
  making it a less distracted work space.
• Keep the temperature mild. Not too hot and not too cool. 
• Turn off technology to avoid all sort of plings, calls and e-mails.
• De-clutter your mind by blocking out all the other things you need to do today. 
• Prepare your brain by calm breathing for one minute.
• Drink water.
• Chew peppermint gum! 
• Take short, two minutes breaks every half hour or so.
• Use headphones if you work surrounded by people.
• Take notes or draw doodles at meetings.

If you can take control of your ability to focus and block out distractions, you have given yourself a powerful tool that will enable you to perform at consistently high level and be both effective and efficient in your work efforts.

Right here. Right now.
What matters most is to focus on what matters most. We all know that we should always focus on the journey and not the destination. Well, here’s a few more inspirational ‘rules’ that I’d like to live by this year.

• Focus on your goal. Not your fear.
• Focus on your strengths. Not your weaknesses.
• Focus on your character. Not your reputation.
• Focus on your blessings. Not your misfortunes. 
• Focus on the outcome. Not the obstacles.

It’s all common sense but sometimes we just need to be reminded, don’t we?
