A Curious Expansion

Nlp_diceJust lately I have been determined to focus on just a few key things - business wise that is.
That means that I haven't written as much, been to London as much, coached as much, exercised as much etc as I did maybe a year ago.  I have focused on my medical device business interests because they really deserve it. At least as much as any abstract "thing" could deserve anything.

You see I have always loved to multi-task. It has been fun to start many projects but I haven't always taken a great deal of pleasure in seeing them through to completion.  So I started a while ago to change my perceptions about work.  I have culled out things that I didn't enjoy and more and more I've sought to focus on a few things and find simplicity.

What is curious about this is that I am busier than ever, more productive than ever and happier than ever - but I am focusing on a few things.  When I look around now I see lots of people who are the way I used to be.  Engaging in struggle and juggling far too many commitments.  What I want to say to them is stop running around - try staying in one place - its curious how busy you will be.
