We live oddly structured lives. For most of us, the week starts with a groan on Monday and finishes with a sigh of relief on Friday. We dream of cutting free from a job we probably dislike and a time constraint we certainly dislike. and as such become less productive on the job, and also in our personal lives. However, focusing on the important tasks we need to achieve and how to go about it can bring about the best in us, as individuals. Here are 4 steps to develop the power of focus to increase productivity.
1. Critical thinking- The most important way to develop the skill of focus is to critically think about what it is that you actually want. Think about what it looks like. Think about what it'll take to get it. Think about how you feel once you actually achieve it, think about the challenges you'll face, and what you can do to overcome such challenges.
2. Time Mangement- Time is not a luxury, we are credited with 24hrs Daily and those who make use of their time of productive activities are those who usually succeed in life. To increase your focus, and achieve business growth, you must be able to manage your time well. The easiest way to do this is to create a to-do-list. Before going to bed at night, I literally write and schedule everything I need to do from the start of my day till the close of work. Managing your time is a key attribute of success.
3. Clear your mind of distractions- We live in a world filled with too much noise and distractions. It's either we are pressing our phones or listening to someone on the radio or watching a program on TV. All these are distractions which we need to get rid off in order to focus. So when you have a task to do, turn off your phone, turn off the TV, and concentrate your mind on what you want to achieve.
4. Rest- As much as you want to achieve your goals, find time to rest. Resting helps you regroup and come back stronger. Find time to take a break.
