Most leaders find they need to refine their focus regularly because
leading means having the free time to think clearly. They
look around to see what can easily be managed with a few clever tricks.
Life is just filled with complicated, mundane and
distracting things, such as what to wear, how to get to the office each day,
what to eat for lunch. These types of
decisions rob you of energy and take your focus from your purpose as a leader.
Take at least one hour this next weekend and do some serious
planning to eliminate as many mundane distractions as possible...then enjoy
running on autopilot. For instance:
- Think about breakfast. What do you like that gives you lots of energy to get through the morning? Make this your choice every day. It makes shopping, budgeting and cleaning up easier. Most of all you don't have to think about it each morning.
- Look at your wardrobe. What do you feel most confident and comfortable in? What colours, fabrics, what style? Reduce your work wardrobe options and create set outfits around these choices. When you go shopping for work outfits, stick with your chosen colours, styles and fabrics. Save yourself time and feel even better each day!
- Getting to and from work can be stressful. Pull out a map or Google the best route for you. You may like to keep moving as you travel or you may not mind sitting in traffic. Once you have plotted the best route, stick with it each day so you don't waste energy and time exploring new ways.
