Try not to do too many things at once. Know what you want, the number one thing today and tomorrow. Persevere and get it done.
George Allen

Good morning! Allen reminds us of the power of focus and intent with this quote. Stop for a moment and look at your to-do list for the day. How many goals or projects are you chasing?

Imagine you were at a carnival. Your goal at the carnival was to gather as much candy and prizes as possible by winning the little carnival games. What would your strategy be? I would likely look at the games, choose which ones I was best at, start with those, and then work my way to the other games by proximity. What I wouldn't do is try to play all the games at one time, running around the carnival like a mad-woman.

However in our lives, we often run around between a zillion goals and to-dos trying to "get it all done." What we often overlook is that spreading our energy and focus from task to task in a manic manner isn't effective. We mustn't confuse busyness with effectiveness. We are effective when we choose our primary focus points and attend to them, then move on to the next item.

Your Turn: What items do you need to focus on today above all others? What items are on your 3 Step Action List? Write them down and keep them with you all day.

Affirmation: I focus and succeed.
