Staying Focused

I will wake up from a soft blanket that shines from the window. After eating breakfast in the bird 's nest (eggs are fried in sliced ​​toast holes), walk Mission Creekwalk to see clouds and mountains. I return home, play the guitar for a while, and learn some new songs. My best friend Max Isenberg plays a little bit and uploads it to YouTube. When shooting is completed, go home and have lunch and edit the camera. After Max left, I took a nap and woke up by another friend and asked me to play basketball in Gomez.

At any time, the productivity section of my news report welcomes me with myriad articles supporting the interests of keeping focused. The science of keeping focused, the technology to keep me from puzzling, and the information on how millionaires are retransmitted by billionaire. Successful people seem to believe that the focus is based on the excellence of business and life. The concept of "focusing" in the context of economic success is intertwined with the concept of economic division of labor. The idea of ​​dividing tasks among people to improve population productivity is not new. Plato talks about division of labor 25 million years ago. Basically, if the economy functions like an assembly line, you can produce more things faster and everyone concentrates on learning a specific task.

As we all know, multitasking can reduce your attention up to 40%. This weakens your ability to concentrate on the task in front of you to finish the work. But how do you keep focusing? First, you need to practice once to ignore the idea of ​​concentrating on one job and distracting. Turning off notifications, warnings, and external noise blocking can also focus on one task at a time. Startup Close.io founder Steli Efti reported that his productivity cracking, a method of five task lists allowed his team to increase their trial registration and customers by 30%. The main reason why productivity declines as the startup founder succeeds is to add too much to your list of things to do.

Please concentrate on your own project. Since co-founders need to bear multiple responsibilities, distraction is easy. You can solve a million questions at any time; you always want to keep focused. In the final analysis, there is always one "most important task". Pour out your energy, do not worry about what your partner is doing - they have it. Many of our startups outsource their work to contractors and freelancers, but this is not usually cheap. Freelancers can spend between $ 20 and $ 150 per hour. If their time takes so much to you, your time is more valuable. So please understand that you will lose money every minute you waste with your partner.
