In many ways, the activities of work and life are like a giant assembly line. Every day things are being added. All day long you need to make decisions about what you need to handle right away, what you can let go around the conveyor a few more times, what you can put on someone else’s assembly line and what, if anything, you can just knock off altogether and forget about.
The business imperative for today can be summed up in this quote from a book called The Attention Economy by Davenport and Beck, two researchers from the Harvard Business School, “Companies that succeed in the future will be those expert not in time management but in attention management."
So Focus Management® is, in part, about:
Learning to manage our attention despite the flood of data
Getting rid of distractions and “focus robbers”
Learning to manage interruptions from others and from yourself
Focusing more time on the important things
