I've been cutting back all year, and in another month I should be done with the obligatory things I got myself into. Paring down so you can focus is a must. Life is too short to be lived like a maniac. As always, you’ve hit the nail on the head.

I loved getting this emailed to me today because I needed the kick up the rear to get me moving in a positive direction again.
I’m going to be living the life of the person I want to be right now.
I’ll declutter my wardrobe for a start and then work room by room decluttering my life. :-)

Best regards to everyone,

I agree in theory but in practice I have seem to be pulled in many different directions. Having a family does that. Their needs always come first and that's the way it is. Have to wait till everyone has left home hehe.<br/><br/>The other distracting thing for me is that I am such a huge information junkie that I keep seeing "things" I am interested in or might potentially be interested in. I have this kind of mental list of things I must look into.<br/><br/>I know just what you mean though Craig and do agree. Learning to establish "time out" for me when professional or personal issues need my focus or time. It’s easier said than done.

I know just what you mean though Craig and do agree. Learning to establish “time out” for me when professional or personal issues need my focus or time.

I am becoming more focussed, more often - in fact, right now I should be doing a few other tasks, but need the nourishment of reading your blog, first.<br/> Loved the TV segment yesterday - congrats on such a successful first personal development segment on national tv. Now the whole country will be reading this site(if they're not already)!Oh, and we didn't know you ate cars breakfast !! Why didn't you tell us?? <br/>Thanks again & congratulations!!<br/>Hugs,<br/>Monica Hi Craig,

Although everything you say is true, you lost me at "Work smarter, not harder". I had a boss that used to say that all the time. Drove me crazy because most of the work I was doing,(that I couldn't keep up with) was his non productive crap. He nearly drove me to distraction. Luckily, I am retired now and survived that part of my career. Do keep up the good work, I enjoy most of it. I am sorry Craig.

These are great points, and boy do I know what it’s like to face each of these when I’m going after the things I want. The 14-year old insecure fat kid would probably get along great with my alter ego Dennis…misery looooooves company!

Great stuff!

I am not able to fully commit to each thing and it can get quite stressful doing more than 3 things at one go. I'm going to try slowing down. <br/><br/>Thanks for your advice!<br/>Evelyn Recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is very hard to multi-task.

I have been thinking about focus for some days and I decided…that smart people must focus to do less, but quality things. In fact, I believe, no one can live without distraction, but avoid as much as you can would be wise choice. Happy day, everyone!

Best me,
