Day 15 – Focusing

November 27, 2012 by Mary Gow

"Focus," by Mary Gow

“Focus,” watercolor on paper, by Mary Gow

The most important thing to focus on today is: ___________ (fill in the blank).

It’s getting easier and easier to get detoured from what’s important, isn’t it?

I don’t need to remind you of the daily barrage of information to sort through.

To control my email that pops up in my “in” box I created a bunch of folders and then I created a bunch of rules so that much of my incoming mail goes directly to folders. It feels so much better!

Freedom software might be worth a try. It’s $10 to download. You can choose how much time to restrict your access to the internet.

What’s one of your focusing techniques?
