Focusing on one thing

Our mind is not designed to handle multiple things at once. In fact, it is impossible to multi-task.

Our mind simply switches between things so rapidly it seems we are doing more things than one, but physically that is not the case.

me = "hero"

What does happen, however, is that we use way more energy this way.

Every switch costs energy, as our mind activates whole areas at the same time whenever a single thought is activated.

If we switch rapidly between different things, or focus on too many things at once, we will burn out much quicker in the day. Things will take us longer as we cannot get into a state of flow and, by the end of the day, it’s going to be awful to just concentrate as we will not have the energy for that.

Focusing on the important thing first.

Many Entrepreneurs and starting business owners struggle with this point in particular.

They worry so much about the everything that has even just a little bit to do with their business that they loose sight of what is truly important.

If you really want to get work done you have to look at the end goal and do what is most important first.

For business owners, this is usually Profit, in which case the most important thing is their funnel.

However, when it comes to productivity then look at what is supposed to result from that productivity and work on that first.

Of course you could do better if you drank more water, if you worked faster, slept more and did all of these side things, but that will not be the actual work.

Spend more time on that which brings results and less time on things that do not.
