THE POWER OF CONCENTRATION

We do lots of different kinds of work in a day and we are in a lot of different settings sometimes  in an office, coffee shop, a restaurant, a hotel lobby may be going through some kind of the corridor or maybe in a park and one of the things I've noticed in those settings is that it's often very loud. These days there's lots of music playing, there are people gathering there's lots of conversation everyone isn't necessarily discrete, there's a lot of amplified sound in these settings and you may find it difficult sometimes to read something or to write something or to listen to a voicemail to have a conversation on the phone maybe even have a conversation with someone sitting next to you it's very loud out there these days and it makes it very difficult for us to concentrate on the work that we're doing what that means is you might not be giving your best because the concentration gives you incredible power when you concentrate on something you really go into a completely different state once you get to a point where you get so deeply involved in the subject matter that it starts to reveal itself to you, you start to understand a lot more deeply and more seriously what you're dealing with and you start to get clues about how to do that better and frankly, it isn't until you get into that zone that you do your best work.

It makes me wonder sometimes when I see people out and about doing work whether or not they're really getting their best work, you know sometimes I'll start a document and I'll start it in a place where I'm very busy there's a lot of noise, there's a lot of things going on but I'll have to finish that document in a quiet setting where I can really look at it carefully review each word and consider each idea and consider each element maybe if it's a proposal and just make sure that it's on point and it's really what I want to say and that it has the right level of insight that's needed it's when I ultimately get to my destination, I'll make sure that I have some quiet time so that I can focus on whatever I want to focus on remember that there's great power in concentration and if you are out and about all the time and you're trying to do business and trying to do things on the go, you might be shortchanging yourself because you might not allow yourself to get to that level of performance and understanding and the concentration that's really going to give you your best.

Make sure you put yourself in a position, where you're giving your best, put yourself into your work silence that noise around you get yourself into some private moments and don't try to do everything on the go make sure you quiet down give yourself some time to concentrate and focus and I guarantee you you'll have much better results when you concentrate.
