Focus on What Matters
Distractions abound in the information age. Many diversions waste our time and interfere with the important things in life. As a husband and father, I find myself listening with only half attention to stories that my sons tell me or the day-to-day business from my wife. There are so many things vying for my attention that I catch myself nodding and encouraging them on with ‘uh huh’ and ‘okay’ without really grasping the content of the interaction. I may not be overly invested in learning the regions where each Pokemon habitates or the authentic materials to create an Edwardian dress. Nevertheless, it’s important enough for my family to share with me and I need to be more diligent in listening.
Please join me in paring down the distractions to focus on what matters. I hope that this list of articles provides you good focused content to absorb and then move on to other important matters.
