The key to succeed in focusing...

I’ve struggled with focus for years. I still do.

The only way I succeed in focusing is to be single-minded.

I will/can/should/need to get this one thing done. And then the next one. Etc.

I forget everything else I need to do, shut it out, and do the one thing.

For my surroundings that can be a bit tough: “do you want to talk about ABC?” No!, “can we meet tomorrow?” Don’t know, “when can you meet?” Look in my calendar, etc.

So to some, I appear a bit abrupt and short, but that is just because I focus, I do not know how to get stuff done otherwise.
