10 Steps To Protect Your Focus As A Real Estate Agent or small business owner
1. Eliminate distractions
Get off social media. Stop the scroll. It’s bad for your neck and social demeana. Fastest way to becoming a nuffty.
Do this for 4 hours a day! Freedom and clarity beckons.
2. Reduce multitasking
Do one thing at a time and finish it. This will eliminate:
* poor concentration
* less productivity
3. Practice mindfullness and or meditation
Here’s what I do:
* do this at any time of the day
* practice for 10 – 20 minutes
* make up a word eg carmuncha, karbooma
* close your eyes, sit comfortably and repeat the word over and over
4. Get more sleep
Turn off the white light before sleeping – phones, iPads etc
5. Be present in the moment
If you are having a conversation with staff, be present. Focus on them. Stop looking past them.
6. Take breaks
* go for a walk
* stop writing after 25 minutes for 5 minutes
* have a coffee/tea after 90 minutes of focused effort. Do once a day
7. Connect with nature
* walk in a park or forest
* sit on the beach
* have lunch by the river
8. Train your brain
Do a crossword occassionally. Take up a new language
9. Exercise daily
It doesn’t have to be strenuous. A brisk walk – 10 – 30 minutes.
Have a swim
10. Eat well
* Cut out the sugars. Reduce your risk of becoming a type 2 diabetic
* Cut back on processed foods
* Eat clean – plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
* Eat good protein
Do the above and you’ll dramatically improve your focus – and your business.
It sounds like you are taking a lot of time away from work. This might make you anxious.
But believe me from my own personal experience, I get a lot more done in focused sprints totally 4 hours a day than most will in a week!
