    How To Focus Your Attention On Your Great Work Even As The World Does Its Best To Distract You | UYGW78

    I don't know about you, but I've been fighting to keep myself focused on my Great Work in the past couple of weeks. Things seem to be moving at the speed of light out in the world, and I'm struggling to keep up. To bring myself back into myself, I used my 3B protocol to get myself back on track. The 3B protocol is a way to prioritize your jumbled, conflicting thoughts and worries. It involves identifying the Bright Spots, Broken Windows, and Black Holes in your thinking and then moving forward with clarity. 💡 Bright Spots are the areas where things are working. Your job is to lean into them and create even more success. 💔 Broken Windows require immediate attention. Avoiding them will inevitably cause more problems, so addressing them is our highest priority. ⚫ Black Holes, however, reveal where you pour your attention without discernible effect. Black Holes include endlessly relitigating decisions you’ve already made, analyzing past regrets, obsessing over future scenarios, and falling into the doom scroll of world events. Listen in for concrete strategies and heartfelt advice. Ready for more?Read my book and try the Great Work Journal for yourself!
