Hi Reader,
Our focus is powerful and we should consider where it's directed.Let's emphasize this in our Unburdened Programme by practicing a simple mindfulness technique: The Daily M I T (Most Important Task).
This is about choosing one main priority daily, minimizing distractions and guaranteeing progress towards important tasks.
It works like this:
- Select a task: Choose one important task each day
- Prioritize it: This task will take precedence over all other tasks for that day
That's the power of the Daily MIT.
Doing too many things at once dilutes our focus. The Daily MIT forces us to make a conscious decision about our focus for the day.
| Join the Unburdened Programme |
We also found out in our project management research that exceptional leaders, who we call the Positive Outliers, navigate project complexities successfully because they have mastered their focus.
Attention matters more than we realize. By prioritizing and being focused, we can be more productive, achieve our goals and experience a more fulfilling life.
Find more details in our Seven Keys ebook and remember, a focused mind is a powerful mind.
Are you ready for a focused mind?
Have a great week!
P.S. The Early Bird rate for Unburdened ends this Saturday at Midnight GMT. So, book now to take advantage of it.

The Shire, nr Oxford UK 4pm-ish Hi Reader, Well, we’re back from our glorious short stay in the Peak District National Park. The picture above is the cottage where we stayed. The countryside was stunning. We went e-biking one day on a wondrous trail through tunnels and across viaducts, and up a cable car another day. Equally memorable were the warm meetings we had with people in the area. In my post a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned a season of more freedom, more choice as to how I use my...
