Life can throw curveballs at us when we least expect it
A dying friend, a new course, or even contracting a serious illness. Amidst all this, how can we stay focused on achieving our personal goals? The answer lies in Intentional Living. By the end of this blog, you’ll understand the power of internal focus, discover a step-by-step guide to making your days more productive, and even learn a practical 30-minute strategy to reshape your life.
Step-by-step guide:
1: Why Knowing Yourself is Crucial
Understanding yourself—your core values, purpose, and goals—is the bedrock of Intentional Living. Life will always be chaotic. Distractions, both minor and significant, will come and go, but if you are anchored in your internal values, you can navigate any storm. Take the case of Simon, one of my coaching clients. His focus wavered due to unexpected life events, but when he understood his core values, he was able to reorient himself more effectively.
2: The 30-Minute Strategy for Focused Living
The easiest way to regain focus and live intentionally is by breaking your day into manageable 30-minute chunks. A simple timer and a glass of water can serve as your guideposts. At the end of each 30-minute interval, rehydrate and take a moment to reflect. This strategy not only forces you to be mindful but also acts as a litmus test for how you spend your time.
3: How to Identify Time-Wasters and Unlock Productivity
Once you’ve implemented the 30-minute strategy, the next step is identifying the distractions that keep you from moving forward. Are you spending too much time on social media, or perhaps you get caught up listening to radio debates? By becoming aware of these time-wasters, you can start to make more intentional choices and find room for what truly matters.
