Have you ever tried to do two things at once like tie your shoes and brush your teeth at the same time? How about doing homework while you’re watching TV? Well—okay—maybe.

But think about this. The human mind as marvelous as it is can really concentrate on only one thing at a time.

So let me give you a one word motto—FOCUS. Give your full attention to the most important task at any given time, and quickly file away any intruding thoughts or ideas. Other thoughts or activities can wait their turns to receive the same undivided attention that you’re giving your current project.

Focusing on what you’re doing while you’re doing it, along with prioritizing everything else, can work miracles in making you a truly effective person.
