Introduction
Welcome to How to Stay Motivated
. The following chapters will discuss how focus is the gateway to achieving anything in life. If you are not focused on your life or work or anything that you are dealing with right now, that problem cannot be resolved and you won’t be able to come up with any new ideas. In this guide, I will show you how you can focus on your priorities better than ever before by avoiding distractions and practicing self-discipline. Once you have mastered the art of being focused, you can maximize your abilities to their full potential.
But the key question that bothers everyone is how can they become more focused? Well, it can be done in a few simple steps and I have divided the entire process into seven different steps in this guide. With such a fast-paced life that we are all living in, distraction is a very easy concept and that is why it is all the more necessary that you learn how you can use the art of focusing to your advantage. Once you learned this, you will see how dramatically your life changes and you will be keener on building new things rather than fighting old emotions. So, if you want to improve your life and be more productive, dive right in!
Chapter 1: Step 1 – Avoid Distraction
If distractions are the major problem in your path to be more focused, worry not because, in this chapter, I am going to give you some tips with which you can start avoiding distractions and stay focused.
When you start a day, it might seem that you have plenty of time in your hand to get your work done but as the day approaches an end you find that almost everything is still left to be completed. Does this sound familiar? If this is the case with you too, then what you are dealing with are distractions that are not allowing you clarity of thinking. So, here are some suggestions that can help you avoid these distractions.
Always Keep Your Goals in Mind
Having your goals and your vision in your mind can do wonders to improve your levels of work concentration. You have to ask yourself why you want to stay focused. What is it that drives you so much that you want yourself to become more focused? Whatever your answer is that will be your goal or vision that you have. Having a clear idea of what you want and why you are doing this will help you stay focused. Accomplishing your goals can be a tedious task but having your goal in your mind at all times will definitely help you to push yourself even when the times are hard.
When you have a clear vision, you will automatically try your best to find the road on which you should walk. Moreover, even if you start walking on a different path, your goals will bring you on the right track. Your vision in life should be something that inspires you and keeps you going. If you are finding it difficult to figure it out, write down your goals and describe it with every detail that comes to your mind. When you have divided your goal into small parts that are achievable, you become even more motivated to accomplish it and this boosts your focus directly.
When you don’t have a clear vision or goal, it is very easy for your mind to wander off the tracks. But in the presence of a proper vision, even setbacks or challenges along the way cannot stop you from going. When your vision is powerful, you will automatically have a passion for moving towards it and it will inspire you to remain focused.
Reduce Chaos
Chaos is the reason behind confusion, uneasiness, and fear in life and it also prevents you from becoming focused. When there is too much chaos, be it external or internal, you become distracted from your work. Chaos can be in the form of obligations that you have towards your exercise schedule or your family but that can be postponed when you are doing something very important. But yes, on the other hand, there are certain obligations which cannot be ignored. So, you can start by listing the obligations in your life, dividing them into two columns – one will include those which you can postpone and the other will include urgent obligations that need your attention.
Once you have made this list, you know exactly what you can avoid and what you can’t. So, now you can block time on your schedule accordingly and make sure your primary focus is on your goal. When you block your time towards your goal, make sure it doesn’t coincide with anything else so that you can give your maximum attention to that task.
Another way in which you have to remove chaos is by working on your messy house and work desk. When things are messy, you are bound to become distracted by it. The things present on a messy desk will derail your
