Stop Being Busy
Start Being Valuable

Introduce The Art Of FocusThe student-tested online seminar proven to help you accomplish incredible goals.

Focus It’s like having a superpower. Whether you’re learning something new, going for a promotion, or want to write a book—you need to harness the power of focus. Once you do, you’ll achieve extraordinary results.

Here’s How You Work Now

You’re probably being pulled in a thousand different directions all day. You’re expected to return emails promptly, attend meetings that are a waste of time, and basically do busywork all day long.

On top of that, you’re constantly connected because that’s how the modern office works.

This is why you do so many things. “work,” but you know you’re not adding as much value as you could.

These are the table stakes. You have to do this to play the game but it’s not going to help you win—they’re not going to help you do anything extraordinary.

Yet, some people regularly accomplish extraordinary valuable work every day. This may sound like a dream, but it’s not.

It’s not about Getting Things Done: Those types of systems are about being good at tasks.

But being a Taskmaster isn’t going to cut it anymore. In today’s world, you must do hard things that create value.

Also, it is important to work hard on the things that are most important. You should be proud of the things you accomplish five, ten, or twenty years from now, and not just busywork that won’t matter in a week. Things such as: Starting and finishing six-A month-long creative project that involves learning new skills or subjects that will help you in your career.

People who accomplish extraordinary results don’t just react to what the day offers: They proactively attack their schedule, and they deliberately structure their time. They don’t let others drive their agenda and sap all their energy. They aren’t in useless meetings all day or constantly chatting on their inter-office messenger (or worse, social media).

I know, it’s daunting. It can make you feel helpless. But I want to help you get there.

Multitasking can increase efficiency.
It may seem to be the modern white.-It is very difficult to get work done in a collar environment.

You’re right, it isn’t.

This is what most people do: They multitask.

But multitasking doesn’t work. It is not possible. Multitasking isn’t even possible. You can’t do two cognitively-You can’t do all the tasks you need at once. Your brain quickly switches between them.

Daniel Kahneman, the famed psychologist, put it this way: “It is the mark of effortful activities that they interfere with each other.”

But even if multitasking not technically real, we can still effectively do it, can’t we?

Stanford researchers did some research on the matter. They wanted to find out how multitaskers managed it. It is amazing that young people can simultaneously check their phones, listen to music, and do their homework.

What do they think they found?

They discovered that Kahneman was correct, and that Kahneman was also right.-Multitaskers who are worse at multitasking get worse over time.

Fragmenting your attention doesn’t work.

That’s why you need to learn how to focus on one thing at a time. This is becoming more difficult with the advancement of technology, open offices and endless bureaucracy. Some people have decided it’s just impossible.

But it’s not impossible. It’s just hard. It is important to find the right approach.

Why focusing is difficult
Focus It’s like a muscle. And if you’re like most people, your focus muscles have gotten weak due to your constant multitasking, web-surfing and being busy-working.

Focusing on a single thing means that you will ignore other things. This means that you should not wait until the end.-Second, to complete an important project or to read an important paper.-Minute crunch to make it easier to focus.

You must be focused every day in order to achieve great things. More than that, you need strategies to protect your time and energy.

What is it? The Art Of Focus?

The Art Of Focus is the art of accomplishing difficult things by learning to put all your attention on one thing at a time. The extraordinary requires:

1. Finding the right place and way to create real value professionally and putting aside other things.

2. You can take control of the work that you do most of your time.

3. Effective ways to plan your time and make the most of it

4. You can actually use strategies to get people away from you (and not mind).

5. Create the right environment for you to focus.

And I’m going to teach you how to start focusing so you can accomplish things you never thought possible — getting a promotion, writing a book, learning something difficult. It all.
