Focus is rarely the problem high performers think it is.
In this episode of the Redefining Success™ Podcast, Laura Flood explores why focus often feels harder as success grows and why this isn’t a discipline issue or a personal flaw. As responsibilities expand, attention gets stretched quietly over time, leaving many high achievers mentally engaged even when things are working well.
This conversation is about understanding how focus changes at higher levels of responsibility and why clarity, not effort, becomes the key to sustainable success. Laura breaks down how attention overload shows up, why traditional productivity solutions fall short, and how top performers simplify in practical, day-to-day ways without losing momentum.
If success looks solid on paper but feels mentally demanding behind the scenes, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and grounded next steps.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why focus doesn’t disappear as success grows, but becomes overextended
How attention overload quietly develops as responsibility increases
The difference between time management and clarity at higher levels
Why focus becomes a leadership responsibility, not a productivity issue
How outdated priorities create mental drag and decision fatigue
