“The big rewards come to
those who travel the second, undemanded mile.”

Give more focus…
A few months ago I introduced the Distraction Diet Commitments… essentially, my re-commitment to Focus (an "undemanded mile" commitment).
It continues to be a challenge for me – especially the email piece (I’m checking it at least 4 times a day at the moment and I’m not sure I’ll ever get to the twice daily goal… I’m thinking 3 might be the ideal number). Personal web use is way down but Focus Hours are still broken too often.
If I missed you with the idea, I hope you’ll join me by reading it here.
If you started your own distraction diet and have learned anything that you feel might be useful to all of our subscribers, please call or email me using the contact information in the footer below.

When you need a well-earned break, enjoy Al Pacino’s half-time speech (4.5 minutes) in the 1999 film "Any Given Sunday." Focus and turn up your speakers a bit to get the full feel with the background music. It’s pure 212 (What’s 212?).
CAUTION: If curse words bother you, you should skip it.
