The last weekend has been spent away from my laptop because I’m trying to make a new habit starting this month:
Focus on one thing at a time. Do it!
Sounds simple right? Not really.
The moment I go online, a lot of things are competing for my attention: Gmail, Plurk, Twitter, Google Feedreader to name just a few. I get so sidetracked that I end up accomplishing nothing.
Add to that almost a decade of my life being trained to multi-task and to accomplish so many things at the same time that my brain has become hyperactive.
Back then, I thought it was being efficient and productive.
Now, I realize it’s just plain crazy.
So this month, I’m going back to basics.
I’m just using my journal and making a simple numbered list for the day.
I tried it for one day and it worked really well.
I listed down everything I wanted to do then I focused on one thing and accomplished it before moving on the to next item.
I became more productive instantly.
Today would be a good day to start again.
Call it my September resolution.
Do you have a resolution for the month?
