Guys, how do you stay disciplined to focus on daily goals and avoid distractions?

[BarryLiverstone]

While I’m sure women also face these challenges I’m just asking guys. How do you stay accountable, what distractions to you have in life. When do you know you are burnt out?

[Lliam]

I just want to get it done while I am focused and in the zone so that I don't have anything hanging over my head later.

[BarryLiverstone]

Old school. I like it. Do you work early on things?

[Lliam]

What do you mean, like not waiting until the last minute to start projects?

[BarryLiverstone]

I mean you work in the morning and stay focused

[Lliam]

Oh, you're talking about employment.
I'm not a morning person. When I worked or a company, I got there on time. I learned the system and how to work efficiently to do the job done the way they wanted in the least amount of time so that I had time later to disappear and goof off without my bosses noticing or caring. I once had a boss who said it didn't take him all day to do an 8 hour job. That was a good lesson. As long as my work looked perfect, they loved me.
And when I worked from home, I always had a clean desk at the end of the day so that I could start out fresh.

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s great. And I’m wondering if when you worked you had less distractions? I feel like these days there are many more distractions and it’s harder to stay on task and focused. Having discipline helps but like with your clean desk that’s an active choice everyday.

I’m trying to reach out to other guys who do things like : play video games, watch porn, use their phone for apps and watch movies and tv.. tons more little ways to keep from working on a project or task and wasting time. It’s escaping responsibility and I’m curious if it’s on the rise

[Lliam]

I have no idea. Phones and apps weren't around when I was working.
