Ep. 17 - The Danger of Hyperfocus
Sometimes, when we are focused on a task or objective it can begin to consume us - at which point, time spent on that particular task or objective is no longer the best use of your time. Find out some of the ways I am trying to maximize my "priority work" at my optimal hours.
In the early hours of the morning during the month of October, I've dedicated a block of time to something I call "priority work" - or work that I've deemed a priority in my life.
Day after day of continued focus on a single task or objective can become mundane.
If you ever feel as though the priority work being done is no longer of its highest value...
...consider taking a break from that particular priority.
Hyperfocus can AND WILL lead to burnout. Ask me how I know.
Priority #1 - Finding my Purpose & Passion (my why)
Other priorities / goals, as listed in order in current version of journal:
- Health
- Wealth
- Purpose
Hat tip to Gary Collins of The Simple Life Now for the "Three Legged Stool"
"Priority Work" will now consist of a rotating schedule of these three items.
Today, it was "purpose work" again. Tomorrow, I will focus on my health.
Largely through spending time on some new cookbooks and relearning how to cook.
Join me tomorrow on Episode 18 - Cooking and Food Prep for Health.
Thanks everyone
