One of the most difficult things for anyone is sustaining focus, believes bestselling author, TEDx Speaker, and special advisor Dr. Mark Goulston. When you decide to focus on something, such as a book project, it can feel like the whole world is conspiring to distract you. Dr. Goulston cites a Vanity Fair interview with now-former Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive, who said that the late Steve Jobs “taught him that focus means ‘not doing something that, with every bone in your body, you think is a phenomenal idea,’ if it would prevent you from staying on task.” Dr. Goulston finds this to be helpful advice – don’t let outside distractions, no matter how interesting or exciting, take your focus away from what you’ve decided to dedicate yourself to.
