It is Important that you Set your Priorities
Without setting our priorities, we often end up lost in life.
It's very common to see many people talk about all the things they would do or like to do in life and even emphasize it out of proportion. But at the end of the day, they wouldn't be able to show what they have accomplished. This often happens to everyone. We have so many interests but very little time. Sometimes it's not that our day is too short but it's the distractions that are too much which in turn makes our day seem short if we continually indulge in them. By the way, if we sleep for six hours daily, we still have a long sixteen hours remaining. It's up to us to decide what to do with the time.
As an individual, it is important that you brainstorm frequently on how you spend your time on things. How do you spend your money? How do you spend your time. You gotta be sincere! Where does most parts of your money and time go to? Is it worth your money or time?
Do you spend most of your your day in the media, with friends or do you spend time learning new things or exercising.
In most cases, even if we don't engage in common distractions around, we still don't get our priorities right because alot of stuffs is going through our mind at thesame time. Infact, we operate mostly from a emotional or sentimental state than logical. And this is the reason why often times, we make hasty decisions due to pressure or fear of uncertainty. Then we find out that we are stuck without achieving anything meaningful all the while. And that's a terrible state to be as one could fall into a deeper misery since one have been trying so hard but with very little results to show for all the hardwork.
So, once in a while, it is advisable for you to take a break and make a detailed introspection of your life, challenges and goals. Try to calm down and breathe, sleep over the issue(s), go for a walk, meditate. Start over again, this time more intelligently, putting factor into a bigger perspective. Set little goals at fist and begin by taking baby steps towards achieving this simple task before going for the bigger prize. Because without practicing and becoming successful on smaller goals, you might not achieve the desired effect in the bigger ones.
Lastly, never undermine the power of focus even in achieving smaller tasks.
Do you know that if all the muscles in your body is concentrated into a particular direction, then you could be able to raise a weight of over 1000kg. That's almost thesame weight of a car! Isn't that Amazing?!
And that's the power of focus. Set a particular goal today, no matter how big it small, and give everything into acheiving it

Thank you lots B for these. It's often challenging to maintain focus and set our priorities straight but like you said, we have to do something about it even by starting small, or breaking down tasks.
