With e-mail, the Internet, and social media such as Facebook and Twitter, it is very easy to be distracted and waste valuable time by not taking meaningful action toward fulfilling our dreams and goals. We tend to busy ourselves with less important activities to avoid doing higher priority or more challenging tasks. And that is how we lose focus.
When we lose focus, we get off track because we do not take the right actions that take us to the right destination. When we get off track, we take others who follow us off track with us. Our plans will not be implemented, and our vision and dream will not be attained unless we get back on track again.
In order to reach your destination faster, you need to first clarify your dream and goals. Is your dream worth pursuing? If yes, then you need to focus on your dream and the goals that when achieved guarantee fulfilling that dream. How can you focus on your dream? Here is my suggestion:
The 80/20 principle is a productivity tool for focusing on the worthwhile and doing high-priority tasks. According to this principle, the top 20 percent of your priorities will provide 80 percent of your results. Therefore, if you focus on taking action to accomplish the top 20 percent on your to-do list for achieving your goals and dream, you will produce 80 percent of your desired results.
What are the top 20% you have to focus on in order to achieve 80% of your desired results?
