This is the last warm-up lesson before Cal Newport and I reopen our popular course, Life of Focus<\/a>. During the three months of the course, we\u2019ll guide you through structured exercises designed to increase the quality of your time spent at work\u2014and at home. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The quality of your life is determined by what you choose to pay attention to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attention determines your work. It determines whether you make strides on meaningful, challenging projects, or waste your hours on frivolous tasks. It determines whether you get everything done in a timely manner, leaving your evenings free, or feel compelled to push work into nights and weekends to get things done.<\/p>\n

Attention determines your mood. It determines whether you feel inspired and engaged to help those around you or spend your days afraid or angry at the things you cannot change. <\/p>\n

Attention determines your relationships. It determines whether you cultivate deeper relationships with the people who matter most or are checked out and distant.<\/p>\n

Attention determines your experience.\u00a0<\/h2>\n
