The Power of Focus

Twain’s profound insight serves as a cornerstone for understanding the importance of focus in our lives.

Focus is about harnessing and directing our energy effectively.

Imagine a five-watt light bulb—it can barely light up a closet. But when that same energy is focused, it can cut through steel.

This is the fundamental principle behind the order of focus: selection, concentration, and then focus.

SELECT » CONCENTRATE » FOCUS

A popular method to enhance focus is the Pomodoro® Technique.

This ttechnique involves using a timer (app on a mobile device) for a specific period, such as 25 or 45 minutes, and dedicating that time solely to one task.

This method establishes a defined focus period, allowing for deep, uninterrupted work. Its simplicity and effectiveness lie in its ability to create a sense of urgency and clarity, making it easier to concentrate on the task at hand.

To improve your Habitstrength™, The Habit Factor applies the concepts of “Minimum Success Criteria” and “Target Days” for successive 28-day habit-tracking periods. Combining The Habit Factor® with the Pomodoro® Technique creates a powerful one-two punch to enhance productivity.

You can quickly transition from scattered energy to focused accomplishment.
