Video: Stop Letting Distractions Slow You Down

Hi Friends,

Today there is so much technology that has been created to make our lives easier. But sometimes this improved communication creates distractions that make it harder to get things done and to focus. I find myself falling into this trap like everybody else! Click below to watch my video blog on how to Stop Letting Distractions Slow You Down.

I also wanted to share with you this entertaining video by brain expert John Medina about the brain’s lack of ability to multitask. It’s related to what I say in my blog about distractions and I know you will enjoy it, so watch it here.

P.S. If you want help from me on how to focus on your goals and to live the life you’ve always wanted, check out my Having It All program.

    Hi! John Thanks a lot for all i learned from you in past few days though i do not have enough money to buy any of your program but i am confident that whatever you taught here will help me to go ahead in life toward my goals and i wish to see and meet you personally in my life to thank you again for empowering me to dream whatever i want in life and realizing them too. God Bless You

    I really want to be personally in touch with you… is it a dream… a big one… so what…
    I am gonna be a great example to talk about the success stories you’ve initiated.

    How true is this john? If we focus on only one thing, our brain starts functioning faster! and that way, time will be slower and we can finish many things.

    I thought you’d have an assistand to answer the calls and check your emails. It’s cool that you tidy your own office. I need to tidy my desk! I also find dedicating my yoga practise to what it is that I have been avoiding helps me. Thanks for posting all these great video blogs.

    This is one of my biggest problems so thank you for reminding me. What has helped me is to block time out to get a project or task done and ONLY focus on that task which means no checking email, answering phone, etc..Ok now back to what I was supposed to be doing! ;-)

    Hi John: I just went to the video of the brain and it was very compelling. It also had a short video about cell phones & driving, and it has convinced me that even if I dislike the handsfree device in my ear, I need to use it! Cell phones & driving do not mix and this is the reason why. Thank you for the referral to this video.

    John,
    Style and class. Well done. I love how you laser in on the critical key points of achieving goals. Limiting the distractions is often overlooked, and yet so easy to handle. Thanks for reminding us of this pivotal point of power.

    Hi Garry, Just a humble thought but as my father always said ‘if it is important it will come back’… as John says focus on ‘High Impact, High Income’ – I have found that real opportunity doesn’t slip away in a few hours, that is a myth we all have been fed. Smiles, love, gratitude and best wishes,
    Bill

    You are SOOOOOO right! Twitter, Facebook, Email, Text Messages, etc… They really do get in the way. Thanks for reminding us to stay focused! It’s always great when you have your own example to share! Thanks again!
