Five Ways To Keep On Track

Our life is distracted with too much trivia. We often fill it up with noise that takes away from the important stuff. Here are five ways to focus and keep on track.
​

1. Think about your ultimate end. What do you want your epitaph to say? Revamp your values and goals and focus on the most important value today.
2. Know the difference between urgent and important. Urgent items are short term activities that can wait. Important items are long term activities that we need to work on daily. Focus on the important items first and be more flexible with the rest.
3. Be goal oriented with a “Five for Five” program. Develop five big goals for five years. Sometimes we overwhelm ourselves with too many goals. Identify what you want to achieve in five years and pick the most important five. They become the basis of your five-year plan.
4. Keep your goals in front you every day. Attach them to your daily to do list. Make sure you focus on the one that is most important for the current year. Break that goal down into monthly tasks and set a time during the week when you will work towards your big goal.
5. Simply your life. Remove your hidden interrupters such as the reminder notifications you receive for appointments, emails and activities. Get rid of the clutter in your head, on your desk and on your soft desk top.
