The following is the second mistake you can avoid in the whirlwind of your business. Thanks for taking your productivity & profitability so seriously.
Mistake #2
Not recognizing the whirlwind, becoming overwhelmed and not blocking time to plan for your success.
The whirlwind is your “day job”. It includes all the urgent activities that are necessary to sustain your business day to day.
Almost all business leaders struggle to narrow their focus and it is not because they don’t think focus is needed. Every week I work with people just like you, you are not alone. There are too many competing priorities and you are being pulled in many different directions. The inability to focus is at epidemic proportions.
I know you are creative capable, wise and good. You need some support to ensure that you are making the right choices, are focused on your wildly important goals and lead measures.
Here are 2 Strategies to Help You Increase Your Focus
If you would like to increase your focus you can do 1 of 2 things:
1. Create your own mindfulness jar, a meditation tool for creating calm in chaos.
In a mindfulness jar, the glitter represents your thoughts and emotions. As the glitter settles and you sit still, notice your breath and your thoughts settling down.
To create one, you will need:
- A glass jar with a lid
- Glitter glue
- Hot water
- Something to stir the contents
Instructions:
Open the glass jar, get the glitter glue tube and squeeze it into the jar, add the hot water until it is about half way full. Then stir the contents. Keep stirring for a few minutes. Then, when the glitter glue is separated, you can add tap water to fill the jar 3/4 full. Tighten lid. If you shake the jar and watch the glitter settle, notice your breath and your thoughts settling down.
If you need more information, you can always search YouTube for videos on creating a mindfulness jar.
2. For the next 2 weeks, can you block out two one hour time blocks for your own personal development? Doing so, will allow you to honour that time and devote it towards something you know you need to be learning. Think of a skill you need to develop and put some focus towards it. Once you master this new skill you will feel more empowered to take on what’s next.
