Diversify focus to ensure results. What if you only focus on one thing, and that doesn’t work? Would that not feel discouraging, and even be a reason to quit?
In my last post (make yourself useful) I wrote about developing your skills. When you do, you need to focus. It is impossible to quit smoking, go on a diet and start exercising at the same time. But if you can choose different areas in your life and focus on one thing in each area, then it becomes much easier and your chance of success increases.
As an example:
- Health: To improve your health you choose to focus on getting adequate sleep, or to eat less sugar.
- Relations: You focus on being happy and loving every time you come home, and surprise with a gift sometimes. Or you could decide to be totally present, without your phone, whenever your family is around you.
- Work: Here is your focus on being “prompt” and prepared all the time.
- Personal development: You read from a “good book” and write your plans and checklists every day. Alternatively you work on your skills to set up a blog, write a post or learn to understand SEO etc.
By doing all this but only focus on one single thing for each area of your life, you diversify focus. And the best thing about it is that you will always have something to celebrate and feel good about. Success feeds success. If it is habits that we are working on you must remember that it takes 14 days straight to learn them. After that and not before, you can choose to work on a new habit. If it is a hard habit to break or implement, try a 30-day challenge 
It is all about growing and replacing bad habits with good ones. If you don’t grow you shrink. If you constantly work on your habits you will slowly but surely change your life completely. You can read all about your habits and how it can change your life in the book “The Slight Edge“. I wrote 2 posts about that book a while ago: “The slight edge by Jeff Olson” and “Applying “The slight edge”.
Take care and grow,
Best regards
