“Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.”
Alexander Graham Bell
Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to focus when the work seems unimportant? It’s like your mind is telling you something. If you’re struggling to stay on track, maybe it’s not about distractions—it could be the work itself. When your work feels meaningful, it pulls your attention in naturally. But if it feels pointless, your brain checks out.
If this happens to you today, take a second and ask yourself:
- How can I reframe this task to make it more engaging and impactful?
- What small change can I make to connect this task to my long-term vision right now?
- In what ways does completing this work move me closer to my bigger goals?
Sometimes, you just have to buckle down and get the work done.
