Maintain Focus and Attention to Succeed |
When you're not focused, you'll stop paying attention. When you stop paying attention, you'll lose focus. Sometimes a lack of attention to details is how we let ourselves off the hook. When you over-commit, whether by taking on too many customers, complex projects beyond your abilities, or attempting too much infrastructure change, you're taking on big responsibilities. These generate anxiety. The number of tasks you need to do rises exponentially. You can easily overextend yourself emotionally and financially. Your basic psychological reaction will be to drive yourself even harder or to simply collapse.
