ZOOM in and FOCUS

I had an amazing time on the show today, talked about common distractions and how they can affect our life especially our productivity.

 And guess what, it feels like as the years go by the list of distractions are getting longer, think about it just not knowing when to drop your blackberry can make you flunk a test, not meet a project deadline or even go late to work.

 So i said the listeners could send in text messages and tell me what their major distractions were and here's a few of the most mentioned points .




                     



  •  Television
  •  Mobile phones
  •  Friends 
  • Relationships
  • Women









  • Now it's really annoying no one said Men.. trust me they can distract too. Lol


     But when it comes to the television matter,i used to be a big culprit, Iphie was the girl that could reschedule an appointment just to watch something on TV smh*

     In vivid colours i remember writing the last chapter of my uni project late into the midnight in front of the TV during the ad breaks of the MTV Europe music video awards.

     I had a deadline with my supervisor, but then 2face had been nominated for the best African act and trust me his winning is not the kind of news you want to hear from a third party. Lol, i had to watch it LIVE!.

    But lets say 'i've grown up since then,and my eyes opened up since then'(in Kano's voice).
    If TV is a big distraction for you, here's an "Iphie Tip" that works every time...



    Take a few seconds and remind your self that the actress in that nollywood movie you are seeing is done with the shooting and is chilling at home probably sipping champagne with some six digit figure cooling in her bank account, oh and guess what she flew her family to Paris for her wedding and probably has an interview with CNN later in the day, if that doesn't inspire you to switch off the TV and concentrate ...... erm then we'll have to schedule a deliverance service Lol

     Relationships especially where there's a problem can also affect your focus, there's no shortcut to that one , just switch off your phone and get busy, when you are done, things could get better or not *sad face*

    And for the guy who sent a text to say girls love him so much and it's affecting his life and relationship, just remember "NO" is a two letter word and those who said it have not died.
