Of course our day’s are more than just a single thing.
I’ve found freedom and success doing just one thing at a time.
If it’s developing a training, I do just that for a time period.
If it’s watering the garden, I don’t worry about what’s next.
If it’s reading a necessary book, I do that and nothing else.
To keep it all straight, make a list. Pick one thing on that list. Set a goal and a time. And do one thing.
My most commonly used app right now is my timer app on my phone. “Hey Siri, set a timer for 15 minutes….34 minutes…3 minutes…
This lets me focus on that one thing because I know my phone will tell me when it’s time for something else.
My goal for that time, reading a certain number of pages, making it to a certain milestone in a project, knocking out all the dishes…this helps ensure it’s productive. When I don’t meet the goal, I set the timer longer or it is what it is for the moment.
List. Goal. Time. This has helped me with mindfulness…being focused and aware simultaneously.
