Picture a guy wanting a more focused life. He hears a podcast on how to draft a plan for his life, then he sits down with a notebook and pen and begins to attempt to write a vision for himself. He takes inventory of his roles and responsibilities. He budgets his time and creates space for new things.
Will this result in focus?
Sadly, the answer might be yes. It's entirely possible that this guy will figure out a way to more strategically pursue idol worship - he will be better at serving secular gods than before.
Focus by itself is not a virtue - focus is only good if we're focused on the right things. What will help you focus on the right things? Perspective - the 5th Discipline of a Focused Mind.
In this episode, Joe and Evan guide you on the path to perspective, and show you some of the challenges along the way.
