How to Stay Focused and Avoid Distractions

Today's episode is an audience question from Bobby, a creative asking about how to stay focused and finish projects.

ADHD and mental health stuff aside, much of this question boils down to aligning goals, values and actions. What I mean by that is that if you say you are going to do something, do it. It might be uncomfortable, difficult or humbling, but once you get started, the angst of feeling stuck goes away, replaced by new sense of exploration and growth. The last thing you want is regret around your biggest passions.

In this episode I share some of my thoughts to not only stay focused but finish projects. I get into a couple of my personal strategies to manage "fast mind" that comes up with a million ideas, and how having a few different simultaneous projects can actually help.

Enjoy!
