Narrow Your Focus
Sometimes when we set out to achieve big things our ultimate focus gets lost because we failed to narrow our scope. This is especially true of New Year’s resolutions, which can have you casting a very wide net instead of starting off small.
The best way to ensure results is to narrow your focus down to a few things at a time and fully give those things all that you’ve got. By attacking your goals in small increments instead of attempting to challenge a full, long list, you’re setting yourself up for better chances at permanent success.
