Anyone can be focused - for a short time. With products like “Sobe Adrenaline”, “NOS”, “Ciclon” and “Red Bull” advertised a giant to name a few - staying focus for a temporary lapse of time is really easy.
However, being able to stay laser-focused on your projects and stay self-motivated, is not an easy thing to do.
So how do you transform yourself into a consistent laser focused productive machine? Well, self motivation should be permanent and the way to do it is through deliberate practice.
As a reminder, deliberate practice is what you do every day without thinking of it and moving on with next schedules. Examples of this are taking bath, cleaning your teeth every single morning, cooking at certain times, among the other actions that you normally do without thinking of it. You take those action steps each and every day deliberately, without thinking.
So the question begs the answer. What’s the formula for becoming laser focused on any project that you initiate, on any goal you set yourself to achieve? You might already know it by now. By forming a no pain, deliberate routine that’s done almost unconsciously.
Once you’ve formed a habit for more than 3-weeks, you begin to do the same thing without thinking about it most of the time. Deliberately! Probably just like hitting the gym, having sex with your spouse (if you’ve a partner) and hitting the gas pedal to earn that paycheck or the lovely commission.
However, to make the most out of deliberate work you to assure yourself you’ve the odds in your favor. By putting the odds in your favor you increase your chances of sticking to the goal of permanently being laser focused every time you start working on a given project. How to assure you’re on the right track to deliberate practice and maintaining laser focused activity?
Passion! It’s a word that’s so underrated in schools and college. No wonder why so many people keep working for eternity for an employer.
If you’ve found your passion or a field that your passion might be it’d be easy to maintain laser like focused. There is a reason why the old adage of “where there’s a will there’s a way” is still a famous saying. The reason being, it draws itself from passion and desire. If you want it, you’ll usually get it as long as you keep realistic and committed.
Plenty of happiness and self-achievement is created that way. Working on what you love, getting results and being super productive every single day. The next one is when some of us can always improve to the better.
Discipline! If you hit a search on Amazon you’ll likely get enough results in regards to such keyword. The reason why? It’s a prime subject of what most people lack.
Technology and the revolutionized 21st century have great influence in the lack of discipline in most of us. However, just like every other skill - it can be improved drastically and even perfected according to your schedules. One word, prioritize! In conclusion, assure you deliberately practice your daily scheduled goals and finish them by the day. Once you pass 3-4 weeks and had kept the consistency, you’ll likely see a new you in the mirror.
How much more would you be able to achieve just by increasing your productivity by only 30%?
