Increase Your Focus: Start with the Goal that Scares You

If you follow my advice for increasing your focus for your daily work, you’ve already got just a few goals for today (no more than three), and these goals are written down.

Great. Now what?

If you want to supercharge your focus, choose the goal that scares you the most and tackle it first. You may say, “I’m not scared of any of my goals. What are you talking about?” Okay, fine. Maybe you don’t feel actual fear. It’s likely, though, that you want to avoid one of your goals more than the others. The others seem may seem easier to complete or faster to finish or whatever.

Usually, there’s one goal that you don’t really want to do. That’s exactly the place to start.

You’ll have to brace yourself, pull up courage from deep within, and jump in! Just getting started on this thing you want to avoid will have a powerful affect on your ability to focus.

Face your fears, and you’ll create a heightened sense of awareness for everything you’re doing. Give it a try!
