It seems like everyone is perpetually looking for ways to squeeze more productivity out of their day. Much like diets, there is no magic answer. It all comes down to making better choices and having the willpower to stick with it. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you'll need to make an entire lifestyle change. A quick fix diet will only put you on a weight roller coaster. It won't address the core lifestyle problem. Similarly, focus and productivity issues should be addressed by looking inward, not outward. I like many of the points Nadia Goodman makes to train your brain to stay focused. Another article embedded in Nadia's has some good tips for finding focus and nixing distractions.
Distractions are obviously a major hindrance to focus and productivity. In a previous post, I mentioned how these distractions are the reason why work doesn't happen at work. If you don't CHOOSE to eliminate (or at least minimize) these distractions, you'll continue your pinball life. You'll never pinball your way to laser focus, tremendous productivity, or a balanced life. Like anything else in life, it's all about choices.
