To increase your effectiveness you must increase your focus. How do we stop our mind from wandering and going off in different directions? Written goals, objectives, and activity lists are one way.
Our mind will want to go off and daydream if we let it. Our flesh does not like to concentrate and work, it wants its own way and, if it does get its way, you will accomplish little if anything.
Focus is the process of keeping your thoughts, attention, and energy totally on the task at hand. By learning to maintain focus, at your own personal speed you will accomplish the most in the least amount of time.
Discipline is all that is required to maintain your focus and focus is the key to getting the important things done.
Your mind is an obedient servant-it will do exactly what you tell it to do, provided you tell it and your actions prove that you mean business.
But like a spoiled child, if not controlled your mind will take you off in random directions. Your mind is great at making excuses or finding reasons for not starting or sticking to a project.
Discipline means that you choose to operate in the no excuse and only action mode
Eventually discipline will become a habit, and when is does your ability to accomplish will run on automatic pilot without your needing to resort to excuses for inaction.
Choose to stay focused!
