Issues that are unrelated to your main focus can sidetrack you today, causing you to neglect those vital concerns upon which you hoped to concentrate your energy. As you may be running behind in your schedule, you may find yourself questioning your capability to handle the duties you have chosen to undertake. Yet while you likely feel highly disorganized, you may simply be lacking in focus. To recapture your ability to fix your attention on a single idea or task, you should endeavor to ground yourself in the moment. If you devote the whole of your intellectual and emotional energy to the circumstance that unfolds around you today, you will likely have little trouble accomplishing your day's aims.

We can stay focused during distracting periods in our lives by simply grounding ourselves in the moment. Doing this allows us to commit the entirety of our personal resources to the task at hand, without worrying about those duties we have not yet been able to address. Our thoughts neither stray into the future nor regress into the past as we understand that our duties are either directly or indirectly related to our wellbeing. Consequently, we grow more efficient as time moves forward, and we have little trouble applying our creativity to the conundrums before us. We eventually become organized and practical in our approach as a matter of course. When you fix your attention in the present today, you will move easily from one task to the next.
