Directed Concentration or Focused Efforts

Today I wanted to talk about really focusing on something you want to accomplish or just doing busy work. You may ask me what I am talking about. Well let me explain.

We all know that there are things we do just to stay busy so we can say we did a bunch of work today but at the same time you know nothing got done. For example, when I am home sometimes I say every room I go in to today I will leave a little cleaner than when I got there. I do something in every room and straighten up stuff everywhere all day long. I keep busy and I do a lot of work. But at the end of the day it doesn't really look like I did anything.

Now if I focus my attention on one area and say I am going to fix this space first and I direct all of my concentration in that one area before I know it I have completed everything there and I can move onto the next spot. Then I do the same focusing of my efforts in the next area and complete it and keep moving on to the next area completing each area before I move on. By the end of the day I may not have finished everything but there are quite a few spots that look great and are finished.

The same thing happens at work. I have managers over me and they nit pick different things throughout my department and I fix everything they pointed out but nothing overall was done. Or I decide today I am fixing this section and I do it. The next day or later that same day I can fix another area and move on and things look better by the end of the day.

Many people do the same thing in their business. They jump from one idea to another learning this doing that but never really accomplishing anything. I propose we all decide to direct our concentration or focus our efforts on doing things a step at a time until that step is mastered then move onto the next step. Learn from those who have done what you want to do, learn their steps, ask their advice and duplicate it until you achieve the same level of success.

So stop jumping around, focus your attention and watch your success rate rise to where you want it to be. Let me know if Team Hard Corps can help you achieve your dreams. We are assembling a team of trainers in different areas and we are working on building success one step at a time. Join us.
