Simple solutions to distractions, for greater focus, a better life...

The ability to focus on one thing exclusively for a longer period of time is one of the most valuable “personal powers”, where productivity goes way up, things take less time and/or one gets far better results in life.

Setting up your environment for focus is one of the keys to getting rid of the interferences to focus that are simply inevitably human.

Getting rid of noise distractors is a big key.  You MUST cut off ALL distractors...or you are wasting your time and your life!  You MUST NOT SETTLE for less, for the cost is too high!!

So, wear soundproof earphones.  Close your door (do not fear being cut off from others...they can handle it!)!!!!

And DO NOT listen to “discordant” music or even music with words.  I play only “harmonious” music when I am doing something that requires focus, listening to “Secret Garden” or “Nature Sounds” on Pandora (and at a barely audible sound level, so it is simply a pleasant ambient feeling).

It is odd that we allow ourselves to stay in “the struggle” with distractors (or other problems), when we can do super simple, effortless intervention.

Don’t ya think?
