Hey crew - Episode #25 here. 

This is a docu-series on growth/self-improvement and my experiences for building a valuable life.  Here are my notes for this week – Check me out on Twitter and Instagram for other things going on -  @trevorsean12  

Sharpen Your Focus  

We're all interested in a lot of things, but not allowing yourself to dive deep into a project can really hurt you long term. 

Five big things I've taken away from narrowing my focus to 1-2 projects instead of 5+:   

1 - Hard to be consistent working on more than 3 things. 

2 - If you have too many projects, you can't ever spend the necessary time to get really good at one of them.  

3 - Shallow work is very unrewarding. 

4 - If you're not an expert at anything, your value and skills are shallow and easily replaced.  

5 - A narrow, deep knowledge of something begins to expand out again into more creative avenues (once you do the work).    

Work to Finish  

I've been focusing a lot on finishing any type of work that I take on, putting emphasis on the work getting done rather than time spent on something.   This has changed my mind a lot around the importance of work and how to work effectively.   

In Kobe Bryant's book, he talks a lot about understand what needs to be done and working until it's done. 

A few quick notes about this:   

1 - Important to have a strong work ethic and the value of completing something difficult.  

2 - Whatever you take on, work till it's finished. (It's okay to take breaks or to work on something that spans a longer period, but set up your daily goals and work until that's complete) 

3 - Know yourself. Don't do things you hate and set small, attainable goals to keep progressing.
