How to Stay Focused When You Get Bored Working Toward Your Goals


We all have goals and dreams, but it can be difficult to stick with them.focus

Each week, I hear from people who say things like, “I start with good intentions, but I can’t seem to maintain my consistency for a long period of time.”

Or, they will say, “I struggle with mental endurance. I get started but I can’t seem to follow through and stay focused for very long.”

Don’t worry. I’m just as guilty of this as anyone else.

For example, I’ll start one project, work on it for a little bit, then lose focus and try something else. And then I’ll lose focus on my new goal and try something else. And on and on. When everything is said and done, I’ve stopped and started so many times that I never really made much progress.

Maybe you have felt this way too.

One thought on “How to Stay Focused When You Get Bored Working Toward Your Goals”

  1. I enjoyed the straightforward, doable, change support of this seven week plan! I follow many of these — Monday (or Sunday night) make a plan for the week, and have fun! I like the idea of scheduling visualizing dreams, practicing honesty, remembering our successes one day a week. There are so many ways of doing this. For example, you can set up a regular meeting with a friend who wants to do the same thing, and remember and celebrate successes together! Deepen the practice with ways to keep yourself motivated, and this interesting week will become a productive habit. For my take on staying on track, check out Ten Lessons on Leadership from the 2013 MacArthur Fellows, (the winners of the “genius” award this year!): https://leadershipspirit.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/ten-lessons-about-leadership-from-the-2013-macarthur-fellows/ — especially #9, Angela Duckworth’s research about the best chance of success — just keeping going!
