Thank
you for joining me. I’m Linda-Ann
Stewart, a vision strategist. I wanted
to talk about how to find focus in times that seem unsettled, chaotic, or
uncertain, like now.
Focus
in one of the most important skills to have if you want to be successful,
whether personally or professionally.
But because of our current crisis and disruption of our routines, focus
is hard to grab onto and maintain, isn’t it?
Your attention is taken up with the immediate and the urgent, right? And
there’s so much that’s out of your control right now, which splinters your
focus even more, doesn’t it?
So,
for right now, just focus on what you can control. You can control what you do,
your decisions, and your response to immediate situations. Just paying
attention to what you can control lowers your stress level and you have more
mental bandwidth.
Next,
focus on one thing at a time. Just one thing. The brain can focus only on a
single task at a time. When you’re thinking about or doing too many things at
one time, you’re “task switching” and that exhausts your ability to
function. So when you’re doing something, focus completely on it, if only for
ten minutes.
Using
these two strategies, pretty soon, you’ll feel on more stable ground. And
you’ll be able to pay attention to more than just what’s right in front of you.
And then, amazingly, you’ll be able to start to plan for the future.
