Selective Attention

I value my time, my space, and my focus. So I have become very selective about what I give my attention to. I practice “selective attention.”

I ignore topics that drain my mind.
I keep away from people who drain my energy.
I walk away from projects and agendas that consume time without creating enough value.

Bottom line, I do not try to keep up with it all. That is a losing game. The more selective I become about what I engage with, the more productive and effective I am.

A big part of productivity is not doing more. It is refusing to give your mind and time to things that do not deserve them. Not everything that asks for your attention has earned it.
