the journey of focus - in 2024!

 “I have been so focused on the path in front of me that I didn’t consider others.”

(– T3: E3 The Bold Type)

 

  • 2022 was literally so opposite to this phrase I was so lost and felt too disoriented, with no goal and no path in front of me. 
  • 2023 I was focused on one thing and one thing only – my professional internship (JUST DO IT!).
  • 2024 I am focusing on so much, that it actually makes me proud to be able to use this weakness to better myself. 

 

I have always had a pretty loose focus, so I would only focus on one thing at a time - especially during school. As I have gotten older, in college and after college, I have been better at compartmentalising everything in my brain. I have volunteered, written, blogged (although only a couple of times here), seen many sunsets, studied, worked and taken the time to be in God's presence all in the same day! It is an achievement for me - believe it! 

 

My secret - and I tell you this, just as I tell my dad - I have about 5/6 notebooks, one of each part of my life. Right now, as I have the blog, I am writing a book, I work freelance, I volunteer, I help around the house, I have my devotionals and I have prioritized other things as well this year, it's a bunch of stuff and half of them, new things. So I literally got a notebook for each thing. And what does this help with? Basically, any time I have one of these notebooks opened, I know exactly what subject/part of life I am 'dealing' with and there is nothing else to bother me. This with a digital agenda, where I block times to do everything, is like a beautiful relationship. Yes, my agenda and bullet journal look crazy! But, honestly, I prefer that to a very organized diary and nothing on my to-do lists!

 

Also, did you do a vision board for 2024? I did, a big one! it's my first time, so to help me with: I have a list of my goals (more than 70 for 2024) on my notes app on my phone/computer and I have a notebook with all these goals and a little to-do list for most of them that I check from time to time. Because there is nothing worse for your vision board than goals without actually having to do things for those said goals!

You are still in time to gain focus for 2024 and better yourself and your life! C’mon!
