Four Month Focus
My friend Bradley and I were talking last week about how we have dozens of irons in the fire, and we’re a little busy. Brad had an idea that I am now taking up. He said, why not take one thing that you want to do, and immerse yourself totally in it for four months? Spend your time learning every single thing you can about it and all of the various techniques or philosophies. Then at the end of four months, reevaluate and decide whether to spend another four months, or move on.
This is a great idea for me, because I’m extremely distracted. Always. Excluding my standard duties of fathering Adeline and editing video for the school, I buy and sell books, blog, lift weights, and because as part of my blogging, I play a ton of video games. I also just started a reading course at Nashotah House. I’m super interested in photography, relearning the guitar and I’m trying to learn Greek… the list goes on. It’s tough for me to spend the proper amount of time with all things.
What I’ve decided to do is spend the next four months focusing on lifting weights. I’ve lost a little over 50 pounds in the past few months, so I am going to do something I haven’t done in 10 years – make a concerted effort to get big and strong again. Then I will probably work on Greek. Or maybe the guitar. Oh, whatever.
Cool concept. Now, what to cut out…..
congratulations on losing 50 pounds, what an acomplishment!!! the 4 month focus sounds like a great idea for you. GOOD LUCK!!
