But what if goal setting is a trap, too?<\/strong> Productivity and wealth-building consultant Darius Faroux says that staying focused is the genuine hurdle for people wishing to succeed. We need to home in on one project at a time, which is far easier said than done. Why? Because of the old conflict between what we should do and what we actually do.<\/p>\n<p>FAROUX SAYS:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We want too many things; wanting everything is the biggest impediment to achievement. <strong>Focus is a muscle that must be trained<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Not only do we want everything, but we want it all at once. We need to take a <strong>lifelong view of our desired achievements<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Our interests keep changing. So, we need to learn to<strong> manage our desires, be happy with what we have<\/strong>, and create the necessary space to focus on one achievement at a time.<\/li>\n<li>When we take the \u201cone thing at a time\u201d strategy too far and oversimplify Faroux\u2019s approach, he recommends we identify the different areas of our lives and <strong>work on only one goal per area<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That last part is the most challenging task. It takes clarity to focus on what\u2019s important. \u201cWhat matters is that we understand how we categorize our own lives,\u201d explains Faroux. \u201cOtherwise, there\u2019s no structure. And when there\u2019s no structure, there\u2019s chaos. And when there\u2019s chaos, there\u2019s no one thing. There\u2019s everything. That\u2019s bad.\u201d Once you\u2019ve got your shortlist in hand, you can begin strengthening your focus with Faroux\u2019s suggestions<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Practice single-tasking<\/strong>. Whatever you\u2019re doing, add nothing \u2013 learn to be present<br \/>for the task at hand, even when it\u2019s just a walk or a workout.<\/li>\n<li>Achieve and maintain momentum. <strong>Don\u2019t let distraction interfere<\/strong>. When others see you doing what you set out to do, they will reward your good work by calling you reliable and, yes, focused. You, too, will see yourself as a person of accomplishment, which can only continue driving you toward success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cWe are the makers of our own lives,\u201d Faroux concludes. We can have it all \u2013 if we don\u2019t let too many desired goals get in our way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multitasking does not work; research has proven it.
