Title: Identifying Time Killers

Hello,

Before you can begin to learn how to concentrate better
on the tasks that you need to accomplish each day, you
first need to know where your time goes. There are a number
of time killers that destroy your focus without your knowledge. 

The Biggest Time Killers

As yourself this question and answer it honestly: 

do you pick up your phone every time that you receive a
notification? 

If you answered “yes” to that question, then you’ve identified
your first time killer. By picking up your phone repeatedly
throughout the day, you are destroying your focus. 

Whichever task you were working on was interrupted as your
attention moved to your phone. 

There are several other important time killers to identify. 

Some of these may sound familiar:

1. Facebook and YouTube
2. Your email inbox
3. Non-work related conversations
4. The internet 

In order to identify the time killers that are destroying your focus,
you need to spend a day observing your activities. Write down everything
that you do, keeping a running list on a piece of paper on your desk. 

Yes, this can be a time killer in and of itself, but it will help
you see where your time goes. 

For example, you might notice that you spent 30 minutes on your
personal Facebook account, or that you stop what you’re doing and
pick up your phone every time that it goes off. 

By tracking your time and activities, you’ll know what you need
to eliminate in order to improve your concentration. 

Distractions Destroy Your Focus

The problem with these distractions is that they destroy your focus. 
Constantly starting and stopping an activity is no way to succeed. 

You’ll spend more time getting back into the proper mindset than you do working on the task. 

On top of this, by frequently going back to this same task every
time you get interrupted, you’re spending more time on it than necessary. 

As a result, your list of projects will just end up getting longer. 

I'll be in back in touch tomorrow where I'll give you a few powerful
tips and strategies that will help you quickly improve your focus.

Don't miss it!
