“When I teach leadership principles, I ask individuals to identify the top
distractions that steal time from their productivity. Then, for each
distraction, I have them write a plan to help them set boundaries and
implement it. I always have enthusiastic individuals reporting back to me,
amazed at how this little exercise not only increased productivity but also
improved their sense of discipline and self-management.



all going wrong. I love this quote from Pastor Joel’s book You Can, You
Will:
Every day we get to choose our attitudes. We can determine to be
happy and look on the bright side—expecting good things and
believing we will accomplish our dreams—or we can elect to be
negative by focusing on our problems, dwelling on what didn’t work
out, and living worried and discouraged. These are the choices we all
can make. Nobody can force you to have a certain attitude. Life will go
so much better if you simply decide to be positive. When you wake up,
choose to be happy. That is the fourth undeniable quality of a winner.
Choose to be grateful for the day. Choose to look on the bright side.
Choose to focus on the possibilities.

1. Release your feelings: Our instincts can make it easy to hold
everything inside, but sprezzatura doesn’t mean you can never show
vulnerability. Always make sure you have support, whether it’s from a
friend, mentor, pastor, or counselor.
2. Let go of ego: Sometimes you might worry that no one else is cut out
for a certain task, but that feeling can often come from a place of
arrogance. Don’t be afraid to delegate or share the workload with other
individuals on your team.
3. Prioritize your attention: Don’t get distracted by the environment
around you. We can’t always control what’s going on in our presence,
so be intentional with your focus by concentrating on what demands
your attention.”
