The secret to concentration is elimination.
-Howard Hendricks
I wanna help you choose one single word, that you will focus on the rest of the year, no matter what time of the year it is, this will help you, just one word.
7:55 ~
What could you accomplish in your life, if you chose a word,
to keep you focused,
to help you make better decisions,
to stay ambitious, and
to hold yourself accountable?
I believe your one word will,
fuel your goals,
it'll give you a laser-like focus for the key areas of your life, and
it'll become a driving force to live your dreams.

It's very satisfying to complete a project when you do it well.
Ms. Cilley is a proponent of breaking down a big job into small steps. For instance, don't try to clean the whole house in one go: Concentrate on just one room or even part of the room, like the kitchen countertops (save the sink for later). When you do take on that job, Flylady advises working for just 15 minutes at a time. Set a timer and when it rings, stop and rest or move onto something else. This technique is brilliant for three reasons. First, it eliminates procrastination because you can do anything for just 15 minutes. Second, it creates focus. And third, you don't get as bored.
