How to Manage Your Attention and Your Priorities

Do you sometimes have trouble focusing on what you most want to accomplish? In this audio-only course from How to Be Awesome at Your Job, Neen James shares some best practices for directing your attention toward meaningful priorities. She shows you how to schedule a 15-minute appointment with yourself every day to determine your three priorities for that day. Next, Neen encourages you to determine which three actionable items are truly non-negotiables for the day. She steps through how to determine the amount of attention that each task in front of you needs or deserves, and how to improve your attention by “listening with your eyes.” Neen walks you through identifying and eliminating your distractions and concludes by highlighting some extra methods you can use when you’re dealing with technological distractions.
