The World is full of distractions - TV, Cinema, The Internet, E-mail, Blogs,
Twitter, Family commitments, Sports teams, Friends, Daydreaming about -
holidays, retirement or a better life.
And then there is work. Meetings, Phone calls, more E-mails, Proposals,
Reports, Presentations, more Meetings. Lunch, Coffee, Travelling. The new
product or market or customer - so much more exciting than the current ones.
All these things are, to a lesser or greater degree, 'shiny objects'.
Things that steal our attention and trick us into believing we are busy.
Of the 16 or so waking hours a day, what are you doing with that time?
Where is your attention?
Successful people are just less prone to 'Shiny Object Syndrome'.
They focus on doing 'great work' more of the time.
