Do You Have Trouble Focusing?

Your Dream Doer Mission:  Find a Way to DO What You Dream Today

I completed my mission by spending an hour writing my novel tonight.  I wrote five pages and 1,482 words in that hour.  But I’m not thrilled with my results because I know I could have done better.

Here’s why.  I didn’t give 100% of my attention to my writing tonight.  I kept thinking about random things that happened earlier today or things I wanted to do tomorrow.  I didn’t concentrate all my attention on the task at hand.

In other words, I just went through the motions of writing rather than doing the very best I was capable of doing.

At least I know what I need to work on tomorrow:  FOCUS!

Besides, writing is more fun when I’m focused.  When I’m focused, I feel energized and excited as I write.  I also feel like I’m a part of the story I’m writing.  I missed that feeling today.

What about you?  Did you find a way to do something about your dreams today?  Were you focused?  Did you give 100% of your attention to your goal, or did you let your mind wander in a million different directions like I did?

How can you be better tomorrow? 

To your dreams,
