One of the biggest drains on your focus is over-commitment. Many of us struggle with saying no, whether it's to a meeting, a project, or even a social event. But learning the art of saying no is crucial to protecting your time and focus.
When you take on too much, your attention gets divided, leading to stress and reduced productivity. To combat this, get comfortable with declining tasks that don't align with your priorities. Politely but firmly say no to extra work that doesn't directly contribute to your goals.
This also applies to your personal life. If you’re feeling stretched thin, don’t be afraid to set boundaries with your time. Saying no can help you reclaim your focus and invest it where it matters most.
