Day 4: Learning focus

Welcome to day 4 of your transformation. Today we will learn how to focus.

Previously you learnt how to identify your goals. Well! many people can identify their goals, but the problem is in the execution and the commitment to achieving those goals.

So, how does one stay focused day after day? The key is to breakdown your goal in to manageable tasks and then to set some dates against those tasks.

Let me explain. Lets say that your goal is to run a marathon. So you break this goal down in to smaller steps. So lets also assume you have never run the marathon and are not in any physical shape. Let's also assume that the marathon is exactly 1 year away.

Now you have 12 months. You have a date, and you have a goal. List all the things you need to do from now till the day of the marathon. Perhaps you say, I want to be ready in 10 months. So your tasks may be:

Month 1: Get a gym membership, buy some running shoes and other gear, start to run .25 miles a day for a week, etc.

Month 2: Run 5 miles in 5 minutes

Month 3: Run 10 miles in 8 minutes, etc.....


You get the point, right! Each month you have a target to reach. You can further breakdown your goals by each week or by day.

Each morning and evening, look at your targets for the day, week, or month. In this way you will learn how to focus on your goals. If you do this correctly and remain consistent, then you will get closer to accomplishing your goals.

Next we will learn in detail how to create tasks and a realistic action plan in more detail.

Till next time....
