Focus isn’t about saying yes to the right things. It’s about saying no to everything else.
In business and life, focus is what separates noise from progress. It’s the difference between being busy and being meaningful.
Here’s how I keep laser-focused. Every quarter I create what I call a Focus Document.
It’s a simple Google Doc with two columns:
Personal Growth | Business & Work
Under Personal Growth, I write my personal goals as mini-projects. Then, I break each into tasks and subtasks. Clean. Clear.
Under Business & Work, I list each project, along with goals, challenges, must-solve issues, and ideas for solutions. No fluff, just what moves the needle.
This document becomes my compass. I revisit it weekly. It grounds me, reminds me of what truly matters, and cuts through the clutter.
You don’t need complex systems. You need clarity. Try building your Focus Document, it might just change your trajectory.
Bring it to life and see where it takes you. If you do, please send me a note. I would love to hear about it.
Stay focused, be well
