We create focus when we fence ourselves in. And the best tool for building those fences are SMART goals – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant / Realistic and Time specific. How often have you had ten different things you could be doing – each one with value, each one requiring time and concentration, and the result is you find yourself thinking about what else you could be doing rather than focusing on what you are doing? And you’re tempted to put down what you’re doing and rush into what you feel – at this moment – is a more important thing. Creating fences with SMART goals results in working on the really important things – without having to constantly argue with yourself about what you should be or could be doing.
