Focus: From understanding to results
From a young age, we have been repeatedly inundated by a plethora of mixed messages about what we should do, or how we should do things.
Often, we have no problem understanding these messages individually. For example, it makes sense that a good communicator is also a good listener. But it also makes sense that a good communicator speaks clearly, has good posture, or doesn't overthink - the list is endless.
But even if you try to listen to everyone's advice, chances are you that you won't become a better communicator. This applies for everything, whether you are trying to build great study skills or achieve business success.
In order to actually convert your understanding into real results, you need to decide where to improve, and ignore everyone else's advice for the time being. Remember that decide in Latin means "to cut off" - to cut off from every other option.
The power of focus is the difference between a 100W light bulb lighting up a small room, or a concentrated laser beam, strong enough to perform surgery! The same applies to the information overload you've been exposed to over your lifetime. Instead of absorbing more information, just pick one key point and actually apply it for once.
Don't spread yourself too thin. Focus on a single message, and get great results.
