Protect Your Focus...
Apr 03, 2022There is nothing like being “in flow” in your work or on a task. When fully focused and present with an activity, you feel challenged without being overwhelmed. This means you are learning and growing.
Being in flow feels pretty amazing. Time feels quick, distractions seem distant, and you feel like you are making progress towards something bigger than you.
When we can’t get into flow, we feel a sense of ennui or boredom with life. We can feel like there is something more significant for us in life or something more worth our time.
So how can we get focused for long periods of time?
- Daily Mission - The #1 Most Important
- Macro-Strategy: Structure of the day: work, breaks, social, emails, etc
- Micro-Strategy: pit stops
- Micro-Strategy: Well-Springs
- Micro-Strategy: Block Time
These habits help you protect your superpower - your ability to focus. If you only did the first point of making sure you found the daily #1 thing and worked on it first then you'd be set with your productivity for the day.
Block it. Get it done.
