Distractions
are the "little things" that undermine success.
Like termites, most of them are small and unnoticed
until, after a while, they have undone us.
Distractions
"kill time." Common examples are unscheduled or
poorly managed errands, watching TV to "relax," and
crises that erupt because of poor planning or lack of
preparation. Distractions are all the little frustrations,
irritations and annoyances that rob us of joy and waste
our time. They are the result of poor management,
and like a poorly managed business, the cost mounts
up over time.
High
achievers to do not tolerate distractions! Most
people believe, "That's how life is, there's nothing
I can do about it." Highly successful people,
however, know that an investment in getting organized,
learning to say "NO!" to distractions, and setting clear
boundaries in their lives, will pay rich dividends for
years to come.
Time
is your most valuable resource, and one that to a remarkable
degree is yours to invest exactly as you choose.
You don't need a broker, an agent, or a license to manage
your days. All that is required are focus, discipline
and desire! Someone has wisely said that, "How
we spend our days, is how we spend our lives."
Invest well, and reap the profits every day of your
life!
