Focus

How valuable is your attention? How much is your ability to focus worth? Your success is dependent upon your ability to focus your attention on whatever it is that is going to make you grow. Here are some tips on how to improve your focus and attention
Pay attention to your working memory.  "Working memory is the ability to actively hold the information in the mind needed to do complex tasks such as reasoning, comprehension and learning. Working memory tasks are those that require the goal orientated active monitoring or manipulation of information or behaviors in the face of interfering processes and distractions." In other words working memory is the amount of space you have to pay attention. Here is a neat list of tricks to help improve your working memory... http://su.pr/1E2bQi .
Control your space. All of it...noise, visual distractions, email, clutter. Limit disruption. IM, text, cell phones, emails, television...they all have something in common. They are designed to make a noise to get your attention. If you are a slave to those attention getting chimes then you are a slave to the demands of others.  Schedule blocks of time that are not to be interrupted. Turn off the phone, email and IM.
Take charge of one of the most valuable things you own. Your time.

"If you ain't living on the edge, you've got too much room."
 How close to the edge in faith are you walking.
Stay out of your comfort zone and see what God accomplishes through you.

Ok, so the background makes it a little hard to read, but it says so much. Are you on the inside looking out? Or, are you on the outside looking up?
