We can manage our time better if we can manage our attention. Manage Your Attention Before Trying to Manage Your Time If used with one mind and willingness to truly build a skill to stay on task, this formula might be just the right read for you. I aim to give you a different perspective on how you are managing your time, attention, and decision-making. It looks deeper than external pings, rings, and dings. This formula has been crafted over years of experience, research, and knowledge. It is not your typical “turn off your phone” and “close your emails” type of list. Here is my formula for you to stay on task. This once again proves our need for solid tools, systems, and new approaches to help us stay on task and avoid distractions. On Amazon alone, there are more than 9000 books with a “distraction” on the cover. Distractions itself is a topic long, wide, and deep enough for a book at least. While distractions are everywhere, it’s not impossible to minimize them. Understanding what kind of trigger is pursuing you to take certain actions will help you determine the best solution to stay on task. For example, when we’re hungry, we are cued to get something to eat and so on. While external triggers are cues from our environment that tell us what to do next, inner triggers are cues from within us. However, our inner triggers are what play the biggest role in focused and productive action. Mistakenly, we blame only outside distractions, thinking that they mess with our ability to stay on task and make it almost impossible to avoid them. But only a few realize that outside distractions are fairly easy to avoid compared to our inner triggers.
With more and more distractions appearing in our daily lives, it’s understandable that people keep pushing themselves to squeeze every minute out of the day.
Did you know that the time-tracking market will increase worldwide by roughly 21 percent by 2025? The pandemic has, of course, made its own corrections in the way we manage our time, business, family, and life. Unfortunately, the great benefits of today’s technologies have also become the biggest enemies of focused action. It has become more challenging to stay on task and avoid distractions.
