One thing I like to do in my daily practice is list 6 phrases that I find really help me to stay focused and do what I need to do. This can either be a one sentence phrase or a longer list with more than one sentence.
It gets easier with each day. Sometimes I write a list of something I want to do, like a shopping list. Then I try to stay focused on that list and just go through my day. But there are days when I don’t have a list, and I just get too lazy to write anything down. In those cases, I’ll just take a minute to think about what I need to do, and then I just move on to the next thing on my list.
This is something I see all the time on the internet. The people who post lists on the internet, and then follow through with the action, always seem to do it with perfection. I’ve been doing this for years.
This is something I have to say about myself too. I think this is one of those things where I am guilty of it too. I try to keep it short and sweet. I also find that if you don’t stay focused on the task at hand, you can slip out of it.
No problem, I just get distracted. Ive been doing this my whole life.
The same thing applies to this site. My goal is to keep this site short and sweet. This is one of my favorite things here on the web. It is the perfect opportunity to get away from all the craziness of the day and just focus on the things that matter.
All my thoughts and actions are directed at the same time. I need to take your time to say these things.
A good way to do this is to just go on a tangent. For example, take a look at the title of this article and see if you can pick out one of the six phrases that comes to mind. Try not to get off topic. Just stay focused on your task.
