Why is It So Hard to Stay on Top of Things?!
Use a simple tool that will keep you in check
If we’re being completely honest, it’s because adult life is complicated.
Do you remember your childhood as a time when things were more simple? That’s because it was a simpler time. Your world was smaller, you didn’t have to juggle multiple responsibilities, cook your own meals, pay rent and other bills, or worry about passing an exam or acing a job interview. But now things are different and you have a lot going on. And it’s not just paying bills and keeping your house clean. There’s a ton of information that your brain is processing every day as it’s prioritizing what’s important, what action you need to take, and what you can dismiss as irrelevant.
In the midst of all this chaos, it’s a challenge to stay focused at all times. You’re distracted often and from different directions: emails you need to read, messages on your phone, social media apps with notifications going on around the clock, friends calling to talk, and even that delicious ice cream cone calling your attention, “Isn’t it time you treated yourself? You’ve had a long day!” No wonder it’s a challenge to stay disciplined and on top of things.
It’s a challenge, yes.
But it’s not impossible.
