Focus

it’s hard to achieve. Focus is achieved by the desire to do something. if the desire is not there, then discipline must replace it. in both cases there must be dedication for focus to be affective. thre is no focus without dedication and there is no point in dedication without focus.

The enemy of focus is distractions. let’s turn these two into characters. Focus can be a woman, and distractions can be lots of things. the woman is a college student, and she has a paper to write. lets make her paper something that isn’t what she desires to do but rather has to do to pass the class. she sits in a coffee shop, sipping her latte, and researching on the web. first distraction, a man walks in, the sun is setting through the window right behind him making his tall silhouette look like a scene from a Nicholas Sparks movie. What is a woman to do? she stares. he gets his coffee and leaves and she remembers her paper and gets back to work. she has lost 15 minutes, staring. 

about an hour later something on the web reminds her of a movie that just came out and so she goes to watch the trailer, check showtimes, calls up some friends, makes plans for tomorrow (because she’s writing a paper today) and just like that she has lost 30 minutes, socializing.

the sun has set, there is 4 more hours until the coffee shop closes and she vows to finish the paper until then, so she puts down the phone, goes back to work. after about 30 minutes she decides to to go the bathroom. she goes and on her way back to her table she decides to get a drink, and feels a bit hungry so buys a little something to eat. as she’s eating she decides to watch the late night show that she couldn’t stay up to watch the night before and by the time her food is done and then the show is done, she has lost another hour.

looking at the clock, she panics and goes back to work, wasting a little time by going back and reading what she read an hour ago to refresh her memory, and after 15 minutes, she decides she is too tired and will continue at home.

is this girl me? yub. am I currently in Starbucks and writing a blog post rather than my political science paper? yub. am I tires and want to go home? yub.

so, do I lack discipline? nope, I’m just – hey look the cute guy is back!
