If I have lulls of procrastination, I look at my goals and what am I actually working on? What is the one thing I could do that would make everything else easier by comparison? I ask these type of questions. I even write that out. I've got a little Post-it on my computer that has questions that I want to think about when I'm kind of daydreaming. It guides my mind. So I use these tools in my external environment to guide my focus, to ask the question like, this is what I'm working on, okay? If I'm not working on something to achieve this, then what am I doing? Why am I doing this? Why am I going down this rabbit hole? Because the more successful you become in business The more distractions you will attract, for sure.
