How to keep yourself focused?

Probably, focus is the only ingredient which takes you ahead. Often, people lose sight and that leads to nothingness. There are many things which can cause loss of focus. Also, the very first requirement of being focused is knowing where you want to focus. Many of just live under shadow of this grand gesture of focus. But, in reality we don’t know in which direction we are heading.

Let’s see how to avoid getting lost.

Set Priorities

To understand this better let’s take an example. Suppose at the beginning of the day you decide to clean your garden. The focus is cleaning your garden but as the time passes you have a very dear friend who knocks on the door. You lose your focus and start entertaining her/his company. This was a simple example but this scenario is prominent in other bigger aspects too. In careers, romances, finances and more. You need to set priorities to not lose sight.

Deadlines

We always feel we have a tomorrow. But, who knows?

What if you die next minute, hour or day? Time is everything. Every creature on this earth has a limited time span set by the nature. Respecting deadlines in all the aspects of life from work, love to relationships is always beneficial. It avoids regrets and usually brings a space for continuous growth.

Planning

People often say plans don’t work! And, I believe that too. But, planning at least gives you confidence to make a worthy start. So may be it’s not 100% successful but 70% is necessary for mapping the steps as you move ahead.

Why?

A popular Indian mantra is “Keep the wheels rolling & don’t worry of results!”. But, what if you are rolling in a wrong direction. Always answer the “why’’ before starting a new work. If its satisfying then follow the Indian Mantra. Remember, blind faith is harmful.
