Refocus Daily
I’ve been wanting and trying to lose weight. My regimen includes daily exercise including the very difficult ‘pushing my plate away’ and weighing myself every morning. I admit to a competitive mentality so I like to get the score on my weight each morning to see if I’m winning. More importantly weighing in each day refocuses me on the task at hand.
I have other goals that I should focus on every day. So let’s see what that means.
I want to make more money so maybe I should be checking my bank balance every morning.
I’d have more money if I had more coaching clients so I should probably count up how clients I have now and check the number every day. I could do the same with prospects and referral sources. That would focus me a little more on marketing myself.
I’d like my friendships to be hardier. Maybe I should keep a tab on the number of touches for the past seven days. That could include lunches, coffees, calls, emails etc.
The idea is that all we need to do is decide what our goals are, invent a metric to measure progress and check that metric every day. That’s focus.
