We all have limited time to reach our goals, so the time we do have is far too precious to waste on noise. The buzzing that is all around us can steal our focus and take our attention away from what is really important. The noise of the day, the frenzy of calls and tasks, the fires to put out at work (and sometimes at home) can all serve as constant distractions for the mind.
Given the opportunity, the mind prefers to work on the many small tasks rather than the big thoughts. It’s easier and more fun for our brain. But it’s in the big thoughts that we find the big ideas for our big future.
