However, with so many distractions these days it’s so difficult to do. The real thing you need to master is the art of single tasking rather than multitasking. Doing something and focusing on just that one thing rather than lots of things at once can be hugely impactful. Focusing on one thing enables you to get things done that need doing to a good standard. Thus achieving more. Make sure you’re prioritising the right tasks that are aligned with your values and goals that you want to achieve. Focus on solutions rather than problems, don’t obsess about problems. If you don’t focus on moving towards your goal, you’ll be helping someone else achieve theirs. So learn to say no to people and say yes to you.   BEST MOMENTS ‘There’s always a reason to be distracted’ ‘Commit 100% energy on 1 task to be more effective’ ‘Take action’   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Chimp Paradox book by Dr Steve Peters Dr Bethany Rushworth Instagram    ABOUT THE HOST Brad believes that everyone at any level should be focused on achieving multiple sources of income to create diversity and balance in life.
