THIS EPISODE'S HOMEWORK

Something to think about:

What is one important thing that never gets enough of my attention?

What is the cost of ignoring that thing?

Something to try:

Pause periodically in your day and  ask yourself What am I doing right now?

This question asks you to pay attention to how you are spending your time right now and whether what you are doing is a good reflection of your current priorities. Asking “what I am doing right now” helps you make a more conscious choice about putting your time and energy into the most important things first.
