What was the last task that truly had your undivided atttention? Almost all of us struggle with having too many things to do and too little time, and the consequence is generally that we treat all our tasks, important and trivial, as if we have no time for any of them.

Wouldn’t it be nice this week if we can carve out some time for genuine focus? There’s probably at least one project or task you need to tackle this week that would benefit greatly from considered, careful efforts rather than the rushed frenzy it might ordinarily receive. In my case, it seems more like three or four tasks, and maybe that’s true for you too.

Because if we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it 43 times: the point of all the time management and task management methodologies and “getting things done” and all the rest of it isn’t simply to make us faster. It’s to free us up to focus on the things that matter.

That’s my goal for this week. I hope you’ll consider it, too. Or if you’ve already got this one nailed down, tell me in the comments what your goal for this week is. Either way, I hope it’s a great week!
