Fixed Focus
Good day mates.
I hope all is well for whoever comes across this post. That your family is in good health, that you are in good spirits and that you are starting to see the maturation of the seeds you have planted so far this year. This week we'll take a dip into what it means to fix our focus in order to accomplish whatever it is we set out to. Going forward, I'm going to try and include resources for everyone to look at which will support what I write. Most of the stuff I'll include will be historical articles or references that I already know about and used myself but I will try to include something more fresh.
What comes to mind when you think of having a "fixed focus" ? Could it be having specific objectives that you key-in on for a certain amount of time ? Or maybe it is a mental framework in general where one is locked-in for a season or in regards to a section of their life. Whatever it is, "fixing" your focus should involve moving with consistent intention. To whatever you pursue. Not allowing daily distractions to take away from that focus.
Like any habit, developing a fixed focus require time and practice. It's incredibly easy to start something to then never finish it or suddenly lose desire to see it through. Fixing that focus should allow you to be in tune with the bigger picture, allowing you to move forward no matter your circumstantial mood. For each and every one of us, removing what doesn't serve us could be a necessary step to help you focus or at least setting boundaries will.
Having a finite amount of mental bandwidth per day, we can only focus on so much. Finding areas in your life where you can remove idle or meaningless activity and substituting it with steps towards what you want most will inevitably allow to move forward faster. Find time to fix your focus before we enter this next quarter, I know I will be. Shift, pivot and remember what helped get you here but think on what can get you there. Whatever there is for you.
Cheers everyone and stay locked in. Happy Easter
