Put One Foot In Front Of The Other
One foot in front of the other...this means to move forward, progress steadily and deliberately, do everything in their proper order, keeping to the fundamental task at hand.
You simply want to keep going and carry on without stopping or slowing down. It may not be easy but for your own good sometimes you just have to push through until you see improvement.
You need to be keeping focus on what's ahead not looking into the past or the distant future but only what is immediately in front of you.
In life there are many distractions and so easy to lose our focus and not get things completed.
Once you know where you are going, and have determined how you are getting there, then start and just keep going until you get to where you need to be, stopping only to ensure that you are still on the right path.
In the meantime, limit your distractions, else once distracted there may be much more chances of mistakes along the way.
Distractions have a way of preventing you from completing your goals. So while a small break now and then recharges you, you need to be able to rein yourself in and get back to the task at hand!
If you are easily distracted like me, find what works best for you, a quiet room at the end of the day, headphones with classical music, whatever it is for you so there are no distractions.
Put one foot in front of the other and just keep going.

I think that focusing on success does require periods of activity that you describe. However, I also find it stimulating to graze around the WA landscape; when I do I often find that I learn new and potentially useful things. So, I do agree whole-heartedly with your post but also appreciate the balance that others bring here at WA, some of which I only access while grazing.
Mike, thank you for your comments, I too love gazing at nature, it's relaxing and has so many benefits for our health. I feel we just need to be able to rein it in, when necessary and get things done. As you said balance is key.
Good post Pat. Some people have a very disciplined approach to getting things done whilst others are somewhat chaotic and seem to jump from one task to another without actually achieving anything. Creating a small list of important tasks and sticking it in front of you can be beneficial and the mere act of ticking them off when completed can give a great sense of satisfaction.
Very true I find lists work for most people, and it is a great feeling when you have managed to cross everything off your list. Thanks for sharing Ken.
So true, in today's world it's hard to focus on any one thing before the next new thing pops up, it's definitely hard to remain focused, adjust and keep walking, putting one foot in front of the other...
Great Post
Yes very hard to remain focused for any length of time. It is a skill to say that you will do that after right now I need to focus here and get this done. An admirable skill indeed! Pat
Hi Ron, Yes it is very easy to get distracted, too much to do and things popping up that needs to be done. How do we manage to get things done :)
