What are "magnets for your attention"

and momentum over perfection

Think More Know Less - #55

Haddon 🤦🏽‍♂️ @HaddonFortes

"Look around your environment. Rather than seeing items as objects, see them as magnets for your attention. Each object gently pulls a certain amount of your attention toward it. Whenever you discard something, the tug of that object is released. You get some attention back."

Less is more.

If you have a messy desk with things that serve no purpose, remember this tweet.

Each object is pulling on your attention and making your brain paint a picture that it is there.

That same brain power can be used to focus on a task, or scroll through Instagram, whichever you find worthwhile.

Jokes aside, if it doesn’t serve an every day purpose, put it out of sight.

Out of sight = Out of mind.

Clearing your environment from what I call “crap” makes you feel lighter, probably reduces anxiety and helps you think more clearly.

I should be the brown Marie Kondo, although I’d be funnier and obnoxious :)

Another Productivity Hack

Jenée @jdesmondharris

I started dividing my to-do list into 1) things I have to do, 2) things I want to do, and 3) things other people want me to do. Life changing! I often don’t get to 3 and I finally realized omg, is this what it means to have boundaries?! 🤯🤯🤯

Momentum matters more than perfection.

I used to care about being perfect.

If I wanted to build a new habit, such as waking up at 5am and going for a walk, I thought I HAD to do it every day.

I thought the top performers are people who never miss.

Whenever I slept in or felt lazy, I felt like a failure.

Only after speaking with a friend and talking about this, I realized that everyone misses, and the goal isn’t perfection, it should be momentum.

Getting to the gym and doing A workout is better than NO workout.

Will definitely include this game for our team building. 😂 The same outcome with communication when channel down the hierarchy. via @alvinfoo

We’ve all played broken telephone, but this is a much better version.

Most adults need to do this.

I’d definitely be kid #3 who spills it on himself because of the kid behind him LOL
