Notes on John C. Maxwell's advice about Focus

by Rick Baker
On Feb 16, 2013

The following are notes taken while reviewing John C. Maxwell's 2009 book - 'HOW SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE THINK - CHANGE YOUR THINKING, CHANGE YOUR LIFE'

 

ENGAGE IN FOCUSED THINKING… Unleashing the Potential of Focused Thinking

Why should we engage in focused thinking?

  1. Focused thinking harnesses energy toward a desired goal 
  2. Focused thinking gives ideas time to develop 
  3. Focused thinking brings clarity to the target 
  4. Focused thinking will take you to the next level 

Where should we focus our thoughts?

  • Identifying our priorities 
  • Discovering our gifts 
  • Developing our dream 

How can you stay focused?

  1. Remove distractions (do highest-return things first, insulate yourself) 
  2. Make time for focused thinking (remove multi-tasking) 
  3. Keep items of focus before you (visible reminders) 
  4. Set goals (written)
  5. Question your progress
