To achieve great things, we all need the power of focus but focus is also like a mystery to me. I am not a man of focus. All I know is every period of time that I can stay focus, those were wonderful moments.
In the first session, let's discuss our personal experience:
1. Could you name some moments that you focused on something so much that you got some special experience?
2. When you failed to focus, what were the reasons? being interrupted by other people/incoming tasks or...too much worry in your mind?
3. Before entering the zone of focus, how do you prepare yourself?
4. Are there any subjects you are eager to focus on but still can't figure out a way and feel frastrated?
In the second session, let's check some materials that might help us?
The art of focus – a crucial ability | Christina Bengtsson The Autofocus Time Management System 1. The speaker in the "The art of focus.." mentioned 3 pain points that human mind struggled with focus, what are they?
2. Are those 3 mentioned in 1 the everything we need to tackle or you notice there are some more else to handle?
