Handle your current obstacle. There will be time
in the future to accomplish other goals.

each day. Success can increase focus. A littleprogress
can fuel your attention. Spend a few minutes at the
end of each day listing your successes, no matter how
small.
4. Control yourthoughts.Keep your thoughts on the
actions that will bring about positive results.
Can anything impressive be accomplished without focus?
Use your time and other resources to the best of your
ability. Distractions may be enjoyable, but they won’t
help you conquer your obstacles.
