P. 31
Another perk of focusing on the process rather than the outcome is
that you get more control over what you’re doing.
In other words, you don't have control over the outcome but you do
have control over the process. When you give something your best,
the outcome is likely to be good as well.
If anything, focusing on the process will make you more confident
in learning new skills. These skills will make you better at decision
making. You will have fewer worries about the future, and your
focus will be on the present.
To better focus on the process, engage in only one thing at a time.
Do the work slowly and deliberately. (This doesn’t mean lazily, only
that you need to take your time and move purposefully).
When doing so, make your actions deliberate instead of random.
There is also a need to put space between things.
What this means is that try not to schedule things too close together
but leave some gaps in between. This will give you a more relaxed
structure to work with. It will also provide some wiggle room if one
task takes longer than expected.
