my main problem ,which i found after reading this article how to stay focused,is i will never stick to one theme at a time.i foud that i always think about what more to do after accomplishing my major theme ,thinking that i alredy reached the theme(for example when i set a theme like i have to get a good rank in my field i think that the theme is already reached what after that to do
and i start focused on those after things like health,appearance,relations,learning,money all things at a time ).but i fact i never reached that theme fully and also the after things total of my precious time and money was wasted.it absolutely correct to focus on what is the major theme u want to accomplish and sticking to it untill it is reached and then after u set another theme at that time also only one theme at a time.thanks for providing me such a valuble information.

Thanks for the warning Douglas,

I’ve contacted the webmaster to take down the link. I try my best to contact and deal with the people who are taking advantage of me. However, in the end I realize that if someone wants to steal my work, they can probably find a way. I rely on the honesty and fairness of my readers.

By the way, the book is only 19.95, right now through Zen Habits. Just go to ZenHabits.net and click the link in the sidebar.

Hi Scott, lol, we shared about the same topics at the same time. I really need to learn from you on focusing on the single theme at a time. My article share another perspective, how we are tempted to become someone else, when we socialize. I suggested a “people-collector” mindset, you don’t have to do it, but you learn from it.. Stay focused on your theme and do it at the appropriate time.

Here is the article: thanks!

Very timely! I think I’ve known more or less unconsciously that I would benefit from a sharper focus, but I haven’t really had the tools to make a conscious decision. My problem, I think, is that focusing on one thing means that other areas – that could have great potential – get put away. So whatever the focus I would choose, that nagging feeling of there being something more important to focus on would go on and on in the back of my head. Your strategy for choosing a theme will be of help, thank you.

Great post with very useful tips! My current theme is building the best blog I possibly can to help as many people who have gone through similar struggles as I did as an immigrant, clueless kid in America chasing the American dream. I found it only to find out it wasn’t so dreamy, so that’s real message I want to get out there: that the middle class dream is a trap that keeps people in debt, but that frugality and wise money decisions coupled with wise choices in the company we keep is the true formula for success and ultimate happiness in life. : )

It may be helpful to keep a journal for each theme and record your thoughts and accomplishments. Knowing how far you’ve come can keep you sharp and motivated.
