hey success insider it's Tim here and in today's video I'm gonna be talking to
you about how to stay focused now this is a very very important topic for me
because focus really determines the quality of your life whatever you focus
on your attention is going right so if you're focusing on everything let us say
you're letting the news outlets and all this bullshit media get the better of
you if your focus is going on that I'm afraid you'll get us to a stage in your
life where you turn man and you think to yourself holy shit where's my life gone
you know I haven't lived a life I actually dreamed about I'm not living the life
I was born to live and that's the scariest thing about it is all these
news outlets all these bloody Facebook fan pages which publish all this popular
content let's say vine videos prank videos it's about some murder they just
want your attention because wherever attention goes to money flows it's all
to do with money it's all to do of agenda of advertisers and they want to waste
your time they want to waste the most valuable resource you've got and so you
have to come to that level of high awareness and realize I'm not going to
let them control me I'm gonna stay focused on my personal mission there are
going to be five steps that I need you to follow right it's so important for
you to take down all five in order to grasp the bigger picture it's like a
wheel right you can't just walk away having just taken down one step
otherwise you'll be left with a half a wheel and that definitely wouldn't roll
so let me start by saying the first point the first point as I hinted
earlier is to do with your personal mission what are you actually trying to
accomplish what is it for example for me the personal mission the reason why I
worked seven days a week the reason why I do YouTube even after work when I come
home is truly down to the fact that my personal mission is to empower million
men to live the life there's born to live by helping them
become the person that was truly born to be
that's my personal mission so I can't let the focus divert because my personal
mission is to help guys like you to become the person you was born to be so
I can't get distracted by these practice I can't get my attention grabbed by some
news headline which is some bullshit another article fear mongering I don't
let I don't let them get the better me because I'm in control of my own destiny
I am in control of my life so it's important for you to state your personal
mission whatever you're trying to accomplish
make it a big personal mission and its really really stand and believe it this
is what your purpose of your life is about and so once you have a really
concrete personal mission nothing else can get away and you can start turning
down opportunities that is not to do with your personal mission and if you
want me to go a bit more deep into personal mission just let me know as
this is something I go through my coaching clients because this is really
important if you're gonna have a firm personal mission it's you know you're
you're likely to have your attention diverted you have to have something that
you truly believe in and you truly stand for and it's true to your purpose right
the purpose of your life so that's the first point it's about defining and
standing by your personal mission the second point guys is about getting
rid of distractions you're probably expecting to hear that but here is a
little fact it's a great reminder if you're not doing what you know you don't
know so let this be a reminder for what you actually know take action on it
distractions is a killer as I stated earlier social media is you know
especially Facebook nowadays the way they're turning it into almost like a
news outlet it's lethal you know for example seven years ago when I used to
let my attention go everywhere I remember I used to go onto Facebook just
give myself like let's say five minute break on Facebook and I'll jump on my
phone or my laptop and I'll be scrolling and I see a news oh my god there's a
murderer that's escaped out of cell and I'll click for
and then we're going to the BBC website and then I'm reading an article and I'm
that's cool and all of a sudden like there's another article the cutest
kittens alive click through to article and then there's another article
after that I read and it's about I don't know best best watches for men and all
of a sudden I check my time and holy shit
half an hour has passed this is what I like to call browser blackout you promised
yourself you'll be five minutes but you're wasting your time because you're
letting these platforms get the better of you their agenda is to get your
attention using your own psychology by invoking fear by invoking humor invoking
curiosity so don't let them get the better of you whenever you're on
these social media platforms maybe you're just wanting to see what your
friends are doing I don't know just make sure you skip over the shit that you
know will make you do a browser blackout because it's a little little thing that
can waste your life literally you're wasting half now of your valuable
time just you know reading content that doesn't move your life force that
doesn't help your life you know this is an average behavior and this YouTube
channel definitely doesn't support average people so let's quit being
average let's stop letting these social media
pages as well as news outlets get our attention because we're more than that
we're more valuable than that so the second point get rid of distractions
third point is about managed time well firstly guys you have to realize how
valuable time is time is something that you will truly truly never get back and
once you grasp the fact that we are actually ticking a life is ticking every
single second is part of our life and I remember there is this website that
shows how many hours you've actually got left to live and once you put into that
perspective and not into a perspective of years you realize holy shit an
average age let's say 75 years old we haven't got that much time left right
you have to realize that time is truly limited and by the way that's an average
age people can get hit by a bus and people do get
hit by a bus or die in another ways your time is limited and nothing is
guaranteed there is no guarantee for tomorrow you know there were people here
that was yesterday that aren't here today right you have to treat every
single day as it's last you have to treat every single day as if it was your last
and that's how I get this sense of urgency and that's why I take immediate
action in my life I come to a realization like holy shit if I die
tomorrow you know what would I do differently today that's what I will
always like to think to myself realize the value of time and once you've
realized it you have to start managing time managing time is all about
basically creating a schedule right the highest performers on this planet all
have a schedule so if you do want to allocate a time for a break where you
can browse freely well schedule it in but you have to stick to that agenda and
you have to punish yourself if you don't stick to it okay so important that you
keep a really rigid schedule of your day that's how every successful people on
this planet live their life they basically schedule everything in so this
is how I operate as well so the third point is about time management okay the
fourth point is about creating a to-do list right so I want you to write down
everything that you actually want to accomplish put in order of importance
and that has to be aligned with your personal mission how important is it in
regards to what you believe in what your purpose of your life is right and by the
bottom of the list by the way you'll find these pointless to-do's
that actually is not part of your personal mission
and so you can simply wipe that away right so once you create for this to do
list basically begin with the hardest task first right because when you wake up
during the day you've got the most amount of energy so it's important to
tackle the hard things first and then get to the easier things right as you
ease off into the day so when you're the most productive in the morning usually
make sure you tackling the hardest tasks first that's why I always do so fourth
point is about creating a to-do list in line with your personal mission ok the
last point is about setting regular breaks you see we can only maintain peak
performance for you know usually is around half an hour to 45 minutes so
what I suggest is you do set a lot of regular breaks but you don't basically
go over the break a minute and allocate it you've set yourself right so you
don't basically cheat yourself if you told yourself 15-minute break you do a
15-minute break you have to become rigid and you have to punish yourself if you
do break it right it's important you take this thing seriously if you really
want to stay focused so you have to basically set these regular breaks as it
does actually interrupt the pattern of your brain and does help you to increase
productivity what I suggest as a break the best thing to do is not jump on your
phone and jump on snapchat best thing to do is basically go for a walk get some
fresh air or meditate meditation I would totally 100% recommend it's
probably one of the best forms of break because you're really calming the inner
mind by the time you come back to do whatever you're trying to accomplish
you'll feel refreshed you'll feel like a new and that's the key right so take
regular breaks guys but don't cheat yourself at the same time and so that's
pretty much it this is what I do every single day that's how I stay focused in
my life you know but the most important thing for me is the the first point I
mentioned right the first point in regards to my personal mission that's
why I don't let my mind get the better of me whenever I am faced with
distractions which is every single day there
newspapers their social media like in this day and age everything's trying to
distract us because I know my personal mission and because I stand firmly by it
nothing can get in my way and I can get stuff done and that's why I can work
seven days a week and that's why I makes decisions and I can say no to people if
it's not aligned with my personal mission so yeah it does sometimes affect
my social life but people on a different journey to me you know and my personal
mission reflects that as well if somebody isn't in line with my personal
mission I'm afraid I have to upgrade my peer group and trade up hang around with
people who have got same similar personal mission as me if this video has
