Choose to focus on what you are doing in this moment right now and nothing more. While you are reading this article stay focused on it. Keep the distractions to a minimum…
LIFE…That sneaky thing has a way of throwing distractions our way, does it not. Even with all LIFE throws our way, do your best to stay focused on the moment you are in. Be it your current project. Your self care. The phone conversation you are having. The delivery person who just showed up to deliver your goods. No matter what it is, take time to stay focused in that moment.
If it is a project you are currently working on, stay focused on that one thing in that one moment. Once that moment has passed, then focus on the next moment, or the next task in the project. It may sound weird to some, yet I learned a phrase a long time ago that I would like to share with you. “How do you eat an elephant”? I know. I Know. Just take a second and think about this for a brief moment. An elephant is an extremely huge animal. So at first glance or at first thought you are like, “who wants to eat an elephant?”. Let alone, “why would I want to eat an elephant?”. Here is the thing-any big project (think of the elephant here) no matter if it is for work or in your personal life, can truly only be handled one task (one bite) at a time. If you take those tasks, one at a time and focus on just that task (just that moment of time) you will find that the project can be handled in a better way and in better time. Before you know it-the project is complete (the elephant is gone).
There are no benefits to sitting around a table or a desk staring at your project. Contemplating. Wondering. Overthinking. Procrastinating. Becoming Overwhelmed by the size of the project. The only thing to receive from that is delays, worry, unhappiness, unfocus, and the feeling of being weighed down. So tackle your projects “One Bite At A Time”. For this is truly the only way to “Eat an Elephant”…“One Bite At A Time”!!!
I promise you, You Can Do It!!!
One Bite At A Time!!!
