A few weeks back, shared the idea of choosing a word to define your year. That stuck with me, and I chose FOCUS. It’s been a lens for everything. Today, and I had a deep dive conversation about what that really means, not just in strategy, but in practice, how we stay focused in the chaos of daily life. We talked about:
- Managing attention with intention
- Saying no to distractions
- The discipline of being fully present with the task at hand
- How your whole life supports your ability to focus — nutrition, rest, energy
And Dwayne dropped a line I’m definitely stealing: “My day starts when I go to bed.” 💥
That’s it. No more treating rest as optional.
This all ties directly to the “impossible” Q1 goals I’ve committed to at our MedTech startup, and how I plan to make them inevitable through focused execution:
- Raise $2M in funding
- Build and implement our quality management system
- Complete our feasibility study
So thank you again, , for planting the seed with that word-of-the-year idea. And thank you for sharing your insights! Would love to hear from others: What’s helped you protect your focus lately?
How do you keep your mind in “builder mode”?
