Focus. 

If you look up that word, you’ll find about 3.92 billion results. 

Three. Point. Ninety .Two. Billion. 

Just let that number sink in for a moment.

Do you feel it yet? The 3.92 billion pieces of information floating around you? 

Let’s face it. The world is cluttered, but NOT just with information. It’s cluttered with a billion different distractions and interruptions. 

And here’s the tricky thing. It’s cluttered with billions of things we feel we need to every day. And if we don’t know how to focus on the right things, then we’ll be fighting for every single second of our lives. 

Trust me, I’ve been there. 

Went from one idea of “being an entrepreneur” to filing the business. Then, making the website. Then, networking to meet “clients.” Posting pictures on Instagram to be relevant. Reading books on “how to not look like an idiot when selling.” Checking one item after the next on a never-ending checklist

And you know what? No matter how much I did, it never felt like enough. Why? Because I realized being busy is NOT the same as being productive. And if I kept it up, being “my own boss” will just be a pipedream. 

Look, whatever you want to accomplish in life, you’ll be tested time and time again – against the 3.92 billion things getting in your way. That’s why, in today’s episode of The Sage & The Outlaw, Mala and I talk about defeating one of the biggest villains that prevent us from having control of our own lives: distractions.

It’s time to remove the noise and discover how to:

• Use a step-by-step plan to organize, categorize, prioritize, and execute the right ideas
• Create frameworks to keep you accountable for being productive, not busy
• Clarify big projects into smaller, measurable tasks, so you’re rewarded for your efforts
• Prioritize your wants into short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals using a methodical approach 
• Determine the most effective value-generating activities (and let go of time-wasters)

And best of all? It’s time to discover the ONE tool you need that’ll increase your productivity by tenfold. (And surprisingly, it’s not some app on your phone or computer). 

So, shut your door, find a piece of paper, throw some headphones on, and get ready for one of the most productive podcasts yet, where you’ll transform 3.92 billion ideas into a day-to-day strategy.

Where you’ll sleep happier, knowing you get to complete meaningful work once you’re done (even if it’s just ONE thing crossed off each day on your checklist)
