DEal with Distractions
Anticipate distractions that could get in the way of achieving your daily goals, whether that’s the ever-pinging notifications on your phone or your kids treating you as a taxi service. “Explain to your family that for an hour they need to let you focus on whatever you’re trying to achieve,” says Price.
Most of us say we’re just too busy to focus on
our goals. But Price isn’t buying it: “Do a little bit each day – if you can’t manage an hour, do 30 minutes, if you can’t do 30 minutes, do 15.”
But he also advises against multitasking. “Achieving anything will take 30% longer and you’ll make twice as many mistakes.”
