So many distractions
I don't have to be the one to tell you that this world has been designed to distract more than a creates an environment for focus. It is easy to be distracted. It's like our world has been engineer to do so.
All the notifications you get on your phone of new social media posts, new WhatsApp status new entertainment videos to watch, it's like it's cafe design to let you lose focus on the things that will bring immense progress. I'm not exactly saying that being entertained and chilling out it's wrong on the contrary it helps. Like the same goals awaken no play next Jack a dull boy, but you cannot make work time into playtime that's what the distraction does.
When there's so many things coming up around us in our day today activity and we have no choice than to you multitask it's seems like a cool thing that's your being productive but the reality is you end up suffering something that I call attention residue where you can't give your best to one thing because you're divided into pieces already the mind is trying to think about five things at the same time and so it doesn't give 100% of it power to one. So you attempt to do it or you do less of everything educate less of everything. Jack of all trades master of none.
With every interruption that happens you not only lose focus or time or productivity but you're also losing the mental energy until the day is over.
If you truly want to focus the trick is not to force intensity in One direction but the trick is to strategically eliminate the things that would distract you from focusing putting your attention on that one thing that is top most priority.
You would have to say no to about 100 ideas just so you can have the space and the time to say yes to just one idea. The one idea that actually matters. But all that I'm saying has to be done with intention you need to be intentional about it and work on your ability to focus.
