You Can Do Anything, But Not Everything - FOCUS!

You Can Do Anything, But Not Everything - FOCUS!

Dawn Fiske

If you try and chase two rabbits, you are unlikely to catch either. By focusing on one, you are far more likely to achieve your goal. Focus isn’t about restriction, it’s about empowerment. It’s about intentionally choosing where to direct your precious energy so you can make the biggest impact and live a more fulfilling life.

Occasionally, we lose sight of this and need a gentle reminder that while our potential is limitless, our time and energy are not.

So how do we avoid falling into the scattergun approach?

It’s about making conscious choices to maximise our impact and live a more fulfilling life. Here are some tips to help:

  • Identify your “anything” - what truly matters to you? What aligns with your values and long-term goals? Don’t chase every shiny and tempting opportunity.

  • Prioritise ruthlessly - once you know your “anything,” learn to say “no” to the “everything” that distracts you. This includes good things, not just bad ones.

  • Focus is your superpower - when you direct your energy, you achieve more, and with much greater satisfaction. Don’t spread yourself thin.

  • Embrace the power of one: Choose one key task (or rabbit!), total, or project to focus on at a time. Completion brings momentum and clarity for the next step.

  • Don’t fear missing out - saying “no'“ to something is saying “yes” to something else - your focus, your goals, your peace of mind.

  • Revisit and adjust - your “anything” might evolve over time. Regularly check in with your priorities and adjust your focus accordingly.
