Steps to create and maintain focus:

1. Take a breath. This will help with the feeling of overwhelm.

2. Make a list – daily, weekly, monthly.  Write down your goals for the day.  Keep this list relatively short, listing the things that must get accomplished.

3. Get an accountability partner.  Work together on a specific set of goals within a certain timeline.

4. Use a timer.  Set a time limit on a specific task.  Stay focused on that task for that time frame.

5. Schedule your time. Ensure that your calendar is accurate, followed, and accessible from anywhere.

6. Color-coding.  Use this in a way that allows you to know what has to be done categorically.

7.  Visualize your goals.  Create a vision board. Use it as an on-going visual reminder of your goals and to maintain focus.

8. Delegate.  Let others do the things that you don’t need to do.  Let go of complete control.

9. Take a walk.  Step away from what you are doing to clear your mind and maintain focus.

Best advice you would give someone: 

Trust your gut.  Don’t listen to advise from others if it’s not in alignment with what your gut is telling you.

What you believe that has gotten you to where you are today:

Perseverance.  You are going to have bad days, you just have to remember why you started doing what you are doing…  pick yourself up, remember tomorrow is another day, and persevere.
