If you are struggling with focusing while you're planning events, then this episode is for you.
Episode Highlights
- It's so easy to procrastinate when you are planning your events, which makes the power of focus even more powerful to put into practice.
- Your focus determines the direction in which you want your work to go. If you have a goal of an amazing event, then your focus needs to be on ensuring your work is amazing.
- If an event planner struggles in starting a task, it is potentially because the outcome may not be going the way we want it to go. The struggle comes in the uncertainty of our expectations.
- It can be easy to procrastinate on our problems because our problems require us to concentrate. Concentration is a key component of being focused.
- Where your focus goes your energy flows, so make sure your mind is set on focusing on your task to completion.
- Just like any athlete, make sure that you are doing your warmups before getting on the field of your workplace. Set your stage, create the optimal environment, give yourself a pep talk, bring your positive energy, and set up boundaries so that you can be the best you can be while you are completing your best work.
- So many distractions are thrown at us while we are trying to complete a task, set boundaries and evaluate each request to ensure its priority matches your own before you agree to complete it.
