Feeding Focus Stops Procrastination Dead

Focus PageMany bloggers recently and in the past have written struggling about procrastination in their business and personal lives. A tip to kill off procrastination tendencies:

Feed The Focus Starve The Distractions.

To a large extent the "many" distractions that surround us take us off course of what we REALLY want to do. Put your energy, time, money, and thoughts into EXACTLY WHAT you want.

If getting a hindsight is 20/20 better perception of this, think of this story: A survey was done to a group of 95 year olds looking BACK on their lives. WHAT would they change? It all represents focus. Namely three categories they said, 1) risk more quit playing life so safe, 2) do more of the important things not the meaningless items and 3) build and leave behind something that would last beyond them, a legacy. With MORE focus these things would have been achieved.

Distractions like too much time in the wrong areas (e.g. too much social media, ignoring people you should not ignore, etc.) will actually produce a HURT in you, hence the complaint about procrastination. DON'T WAIT to improve your focus (more procrastination), starve those little distractions out, killing them dead. WHY? Cause they are NOT what you want as your priorities! START TODAY and with your FEEDING your focus, what you want will gain in stature in you life.

Gary - sometimes you think that you achieved the balance and then a few month later you see that it is not there. Life is changing so fast, that keeping the focus is not easy. It is like we catch it and follow, and then lose, and not notice it, and then repeat the cycle...

I have gotten better about doing a chore right away instead of putting it off.

Procrastination in blogging?  Defies logic. 

I mean, goodness, it's not like physical exercize.
