The Internet can indeed be a distracting place. Heck, you find info everywhere and our bookmark lists start to explode, right? :-) And yes, writing down small tasks and focus on the accomplishments one-by-one also helped me getting things done and this faster.

Before this, I only had long term vision, but without short term goals, I got nowhere fast. Now I find myself doing more in a day, and actually seeing the progress I am making is motivating. Although, I still have to work on my general work focus, the internet is such a distracting place :P I totally agree with you Marcus; just recently I started writing down all the things I wanted to do in a day in a notepad, and it has helped a great deal.

Your extension is spot on! Really like it. And I partially covered this in two previous posts: In <a href="how-to-save-2-hours-per-day" rel="nofollow">How To Save 2 Hours Per Day</a> and in <a href="the-not-enough-time-excuse" rel="nofollow">The "Not Enough Time" Excuse</a>. I also love your last statement: F-ollowing O-ne C-ourse U-ntil S-uccessful. Awesome. -- And Iris, I remember a female author, a WAHM (Work At Home Mom,) who gave the advice on dividing tasks into 15 minute portions. Meaning, you would focus on one thing for 15 minutes. You would even use a stop watch to control yourself. Once the 15 minutes are over you could do it again. But the main point, if I recall correctly, was that focusing for 15 minutes is easier than, say, for one hour. Worth a test, isn't it? :-) Thanks for stepping by, Larry. Your extension is spot on! Really like it.

I find it really hard to focus in one thing even if i keep a daily planner, procrastination goes with that too and then i lost the only opportunity i have. It's an eye opener post for me, it is showing me that i need to work more and discipline myself to be more focus and be successful. I like your point, i feel like i am reading about myself.

May I suggest an extension to this concept. Some goals cannot be reached all at once. They take days, months or years to achieve. It's not feasible to pursue them without breaking off for some other activity. Here focus means keeping on track, picking up ahain the next day, after the weekend, the next time you convene with colleagues, etc. New opportunities will present themselves. Are they really opportunities, or are they merely distractions? Think of FOCUS as F-ollowing O-ne C-ourse U-ntil S-uccessful. Larry Brauner Excellent post Marcus.

It may be hard to stay focused on something when you suddenly and/or regularly have to get away from it. Oh yeah, that may be a tough challenge.

I wish I could focus on my job without distractions. My distractions aren't friends or internet tho - it's always other crises occurring at work. It's just the nature of the beast in the hospitality industry. We drop everything for the guest because they are our most important asset. When I'm home writing my blog I am focused ;) That’s a powerful article! I wish I could focus on my job without distractions.
