Is this not obvious? One of the major keys to success is not wasting time, and being focused. Almost one in the same. The main thing to learn, and take from this is, that reading a ton of advice columns and getting the up to the minute news on things is stealing from you. YOUR TIME. The single most important thing you have. TIME. I know, we all know that, so then practice it. Stop looking at so many Yahoo news stories.. You're not a day trader, stop checking the stock ticker every 18 seconds. THE MARKET MEANS NOTHING TO YOU. Trust me. It means nothing to ANYONE any more other then people that trade actively. Consuming useless information takes away from the one thing you're trying to achieve. Your goal.
lets just assume for a minute you have a day job, most of us do. Be HONEST with yourself. Maybe even write a log (that you keep PRIVATE) of the time you ACTUALLY spend working, vs. IMing friends, and reading useless things on Yahoo news that mean nothing or matter nothing to your life. Be honest.. I did this at my last job, and recently discussed it with a very close friend. It turns out, I was spending about 4 hours a DAY on Iming people, and reading things that were of no use to me at all.I was still able to get my job done. At least well enough to not get fired. So imagine. If I just stop wasting time on IM's, News or advice columns, holy moly.. Think on it.. I would either be the STAR employee and get a raise, or hey wait.. I could use THAT time, during the day for a goal of mine, that gets me outta the rat race. 4 hours a DAY..
Every night I got home and complained, "there's just not enough time in the day". I was one of those people asking for a 25th hour,,How lame..HOW LAME...
Try it.. Take the LOW FAT information diet, and you'll see. Pay attention to ONLY the things you need to, start letting the other stuff roll off you brain. There are only so many brain cells you have for memory that are still working up there, and only so many hours of LIFE.. Spend them wisely or at very least spend them on things you really WANT !
