Focus Sessions
From Leo Babauta at Zen Habits comes today’s tip on Focus Sessions. Leo suggests developing a habit around a daily 15-minute focus session, targeted at working on the day’s most important task. You block out the time on the calendar at a regular point in your day, and for those 15 minutes you focus only on your most important task. No task switching. If you feel stuck on your task you sit there and feel stuck. When 15 minutes are over, you stop. He suggests pairing with an accountability partner and reporting to that person when you’ve completed your focus session every day.
Some other key elements Leo suggests are to do this first thing in the morning as you sit down to work, and to identify your most important task first thing in the morning as well (more about that in future posts). He also suggests that, once one focus session a day feels easy, add in a second. After about sixty days, add in a third, then a fourth for a full focus hour. He advises that doing this incrementally builds the habit and leads to a more enduring outcome.
What will your first focus session involve? Let us know below!
