Be specific on one thing

 

You can accomplish anything and it is easier to live your dream life. As long as you concentrate on one task at a time.

Recognize the harsh reality that you can achieve anything, but not everything all at once. And, more importantly, you won't be able to excel in any of those fields unless you're willing to put in the time and effort to master them.

But all too often, this is the trap we fall into. We squander our energy and time by attempting to accomplish too many things at once. As a result, we may not make any progress. 

Consider your favorite celebrity, sports figure, or business magnate. And pay close attention and assess why you like them and why they are successful. Then you'll notice that they were crystal clear about the one thing they wanted to excel at and master. 

The world only requires the best in their fields, and it is unconcerned about the average person. We had become average by attempting to do everything at once.

Undoubtedly the world is filled with too many opportunities. It doesn't mean that all opportunities will be apt for us. There are lots of options to confuse you. 

Choices lead to confusion

Many people have lofty goals, but they are failing to achieve them. They judge themselves as lazy and lethargic, but you're not; rather, you're disrupted by a vast number of aspirations. Your mind desires a thousand things at the same time, preventing you from moving at all. That's a significant reason for your failures. 

To avoid decision fatigue, Steve Jobs had worn the same outfit every day. He was very particular about what he wanted to wear as his outfit. When we have several options. We should expend sufficient effort in selecting the best option for us.

Not only in our clothing but also in our activities and routines, it is crucial to limit the number of options to focus on the more important tasks that will lead to greater success. 

If you are in your teens or early twenties. You have a lot of options and opportunities. Many people were perplexed by the abundance of options, and they began to accept the opinions of others. They live their lives influenced by the opinions of others rather than on their own. They will be regretful in a few years. This is due to a lack of comprehension of decision fatigue caused by making too many decisions

If you are confused and do not know what makes you successful and great. Continue to look for it in yourself, experiment with different things, but never give up until you find your one thing. It may take some time at first, but once you have found yours, you will never want to stop. And you will undoubtedly thank yourself for discovering it.

Multitasking is a myth

People who believe they can divide their attention between multiple tasks at once are not accomplishing more. They are doing less, becoming more stressed, and performing worse than those who only do each thing at a time.

Performing quite much stuff at once is not only exhausting, but it also dramatically reduces your attention. You will have very little potential if you spend an hour doing your tasks.

Your brain will become exhausted as a result of all of your decisions. 

While multitasking, You will quickly lose your ability to focus by becoming distracted.

 Be specific and choose one thing and devote all of your attention to it. 

When you concentrate on one thing, you will have enough time and energy to focus on the important aspects of your life.

 Begin by eliminating your options and focusing on the one thing that demonstrates your significance and helps you advance in everyday lives. Remember that you can thrive in anything but not everything. 

Let's delve a little deeper to get a better understanding of this concept

In this example, let us assume that the bulbs are the things on which we are focusing our attention in our lives; to light them all at once, we will need to devote a significant amount of time and energy. This will diverge us from our important goals and results in exhaustion.

The More things we focus the more time and energy we lose.   

At the end we will be an average person and we cannot become a master in any fields, if we continue this cycle. 

 It is like riding two horses at the same time, we will eventually fall down. When we continue to do this.  

Keep in mind that we all have a limited amount of energy. When we try to do many things at once, we deplete our energy and confuse our minds. Instead, if we can learn to focus our energy on one thing at a time, we will be able to achieve great things in that specific thing.

Truth about Juggling 

Do not fool yourself into thinking that multitasking is a skill that can be learned by practising like the Jugglers. However, the hidden truth is that jugglers do not multitask; instead, they focus their attention solely on the one that needs to be caught the most quickly.  

When you first started juggling tasks, you might have thought that we could accomplish more in less time. But, in reality, juggling reduces productivity and has a negative impact on work quality. 

Quality is always preferred over quantity.

You are respected and compensated at work based on the quality of your work. If you own a business, you can attract more customers by enhancing the quality of your products and services. 

Quality is important not only in the workplace and in business, but in all aspects of your life. 

People will always chose value over volume. 

Increase your worth by concentrating on one thing.  

Reading one book deeply and gaining more insights from it is preferable to reading a hundred books superficially. One thing done perfectly with full focus and greater quality is preferable to a hundred things done casually.

In a nutshell  

Reduce your options because they will cause confusion. Explore more and find your one thing; once you have it, you will be firmly committed to it. Avoid multitasking and juggling between tasks. Concentrate on improving your quality rather than quantity.
