Staying On Task

By Abe Newmeyer, September 20, 2022

Time & FocusWork & Business

Distractions arise. When those things happen, how we respond is vital. “Everyone has a plan, ‘till they get punched in the mouth” was spoken by Mike Tyson. Life can and will punch you in the mouth. It’s what we do after the punch that’s vital.

Distractions are punches. They punch your time. They punch focus. They punch courage. They punch your spirit and your body. They punch your budget. Punches land with varying force. Some can be easily recovered from while others leave us dizzy, dazed, and confused.

Let me make one thing clear: We all get punched in the mouth! It’s a part of life. The punches will land. We all get hit. It’s what we do after the punch that’s important.

Today, Tuesday, September 20, 2022, I am grateful that:

More football today. As I mentioned before, I’m ok with starting my work day a bit later for football.

Ideation for another course has manifested. I’ll get started on it and should have a launch set for October.

More ways to manifest my purpose are becoming apparent. I’m getting slightly overwhelmed with what’s possible. I’ll work on getting one thing at a time finished. I refuse to repeat my past and have too many irons in the fire to finish any. I’ll work at completing each item and get them to market as quickly as possible.

How do you deal with distractions?

When you get punched, how quickly do you recover?

How can you recover quicker?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
