Make Lists:

Have a list for everything that you consider important. Plan for it and let ideas and information fill those lists. The list in below link is made for start ups but can be well used for individuals looking to progress their professional endeavors and also focusing on personal growth.

Focus!


One wants to experience wow in everything - Sitting with parents silently or Seeing a child break into a laughter or Watching a rainbow or Getting a few hundreds more in salary or a business deal brings the wow!
It is amazing what length people goto gratify themselves in short run
Including me: I buy things that I do not need, do things that I can live without, watch TV when I know it is bad for me. I go through my facebook and twitter account religiously so often in a day to get random things when I know the only thing that anyone requires to succeed is focus.
And that's why I procrastinated for so many years - because I have lost focus.
I play soccer and when I see the goal post of opponent, or a ball to win from the other team or to give a juicy pass to my team's player - I do not lose focus because I know if I lose focus I lose that split second or longer window of opportunity. When do I create the wow factor? - When I score a goal or defend right or pass the ball amazingly well. It all comes from focus. Focus creates the real wow. That realization - I wish I had it earlier. I hope I do not forget it. It would be cool if I could tell it to everyone and they make sense out of it.

A lot of people have different traits which they put one over the other as the most important factor.
It really does not matter which trait works for a human being to get the job done - could be disciplined, persistent etc. I am not doctor to certify the right medicine.

The fact remains - those who go with the flow will not be able to attain much in life unless they have some ideals to always keep as the greatest guiding light. For me I realize - it is focus.
Let's Focus. On right things. On job to do. On things to learn. On people who are important in our lives. And on finding freedom from all that is holding us back. Unleash the power within.
