Something to think about 1: The Law of ClarityOne of the [8 Laws of Focus]( is the Law of Clarity. Because the very definition of focus is "Maximum Clarity" it is impossible to live a focused life without being clear on what matters and what to do about it. This is true for the big picture of your life's core values, all the way down to the small tasks you do each day. 2: Do you have “Time Blocks” for Your Roles in Life?I have a handful of roles in my life that are the most important: Husband, dad, and business owner. What’s the best way to consistently show up for each of these roles and to maintain them as a priority? For me, it’s having blocks of time set aside for them: date night, family dinner, friendship time, deep-work time, etc. Put another way: Schedule What Matters. * * * — Shawn P.S.
