The Art of Concentration
Jeff Berner reveals the secret to balancing a successful professional and personal life: focus on just one or two things at a time.
It takes balance to juggle all the elements of a successful career, or to live the life of a consultant or entrepreneur. The learning curve seems to be straight up, and the hats you must wear from hour to hour seem to come in too many shapes and sizes. And the most common complaint heard across all the professions and trades is, "I just don't have the time to -----." All of this stress results in people feeling that they have no real life.
So, there is just one survival skill that protects all the elements you are trying to juggle in the air: The art of concentration. Paying attention to just one or two things at a time (a truly retro idea!) can help you balance out the demands and the rich rewards of both a professional life and a personal one.
