Do you feel you don't have enough time to do everything you need to do? Are you feeling financial pressure? Do you have trouble maintaining a healthy balance between home and work? Changing your focusing habits can help.

1) Develop successful habits. When you do something so often it becomes easy, that is a habit. It takes about 21 days to change a habit. If you want a better life, change habits from positive to negative and from bad to good.

2) Learn to focus

Most successful people identify their strong areas and then channel their energy into those

areas. Do what you are brilliant at and leverage on the strength of others in other areas, giving you diversity.

3) Develop a clear picture of your future goals

How are you choosing your goals? They should be personal, meaningful, special, and

memorable. They should be flexible and should challenge and excite you.

They need to be aligned to what you value. They should be well-balanced and realistic. They should also contribute and support.

Put your goals in a long list, then prioritize them. Review them often.

4) Are you creating optimum balance?

To help you stay in balance, create a blueprint of your action plan. Write down the night before what you plan to do the next day. Take action toward a 60-day goal. Keep learning every day.

Exercise 30 minutes a day. Find time to relax with family, and don't forget to have some fun. Take time to think, and make notes about new ideas.

5) Are you building excellent relationships?

Analyze your relationships and repeat what you did in successful relationships. Avoid associations with toxic people. Build connections with people you like, trust, and respect.

6) Grow your confidence

To develop confidence, avoid fear and learn to forgive and forget. Remember past successes and be thankful for what you have. Work to reach short term goals; then celebrate your week's accomplishments.

7) Learn to ask for what you want.

When you ask, you are Always Seeking Knowledge. Ask your questions in the WA community. When you ask, be clear, confident, and consistent. Be creative and sincere. Ask for what you need; you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

8) Use consistent persistence

Make quality choices. These determine how consistent our performance will be and will also determine the quality of our life.

True integrity involves making good choices consistently, We must go onward even when times are tough. Then we must be 100% accountable for our actions.

9) Take decisive action

Don't procrastinate. It will lead to last-minute panic. Sometimes if you procrastinate, the opportunity will be missed completely.

Procrastination occurs when people are bored, overwhelmed with work, or easily distracted or just lazy. Don't fall into this trap. Make yourself accountable, and force forward movement.

10) Discover your purpose

When you are in a quiet place by yourself, think about your life and your values, and then build a statement of purpose. Align this purpose with your natural abilities.

Be resolute, yet adaptable. Show humility when you succeed. If your inner being aligns with high standards, your outer life will resonate with this success.

Enjoy your journey. Smell the roses, yes, but keep moving forward.
