Communication Skills Tip: Focus

I have to say more on the subject of "focus" because since my last blog post I've realized that I was less than 100% dedicated to my writing task while I was researching and constructing my thoughts. Which makes me wonder how often I make time to go deeply into my knowledge or my creativity. If I carve time out of my day for learning and creating, certianly I will have greater fulfillment which will lead me to greater satisfaction with my activities, my life choices and the friends I keep. Maggie Jackson says in her Harvard Business blog article The Dangers of Distraction that we can practice going deeper by: being more mindful of what distracts us; making choices about what we allow to distract us; and setting time aside for creativity and knowledge. I've never liked skimming the surface of conversations, relationships or actiivites. I think its time to show up with a bigger committment to depth. What do you say?
