Having crystal clear goals aligned to your highest priorities helps you focus. However, you need the discipline not to get side tracked.
There are many potential distractions – calls, texts, social media, interruptions from colleagues, family, friends, strangers. Permitting one interruption can cause a ripple effect, separating you from your priorities.
The key is to act on your priorities first before being interrupted by other people’s demands. This notion is achieved through self-discipline and clarity regarding your priorities.
