Ready to tally up your score...
Focus # 4, 10. Yes means you are focused and often able to stay on track, to complete tasks, in spite of the distractions that tend to knock others off track.
Overview # 3, 7. Yes means you can see the whole picture on most days, and are not pulled off in all directions by details, or specifics that detract a whole.
Endpoint# 5, 9. Yes means you often visualize in clear details so that you see precisely what to expect at the end of each day, week and year.
Priorities # 2, 6. Yes, means you often prioritize in ways that win you success because stress is held at bay in favor of the balance that priorities create.
Inspiration # 1, 8- Yes means you are adding inspiration into most days and that inspiration acts like an impetus to move your targets forward.
The human brain moves forward faster when we target, with an eye toward focus, overviews, endpoints, priorities and inspiration. How did you do? Are you getting the most from brain-friendly targets? Worth a try when you discover that you'll benefit from more of your brain’s capabilities, when you list targets daily.
Count your yes answers to see how you rate overall:
10 X Yes = a highly focused, person
9 X Yes = a very focused, person with slight room for growth
8 X Yes = a focused, person with 2 areas for improvement
Any possibilities for you to reboot?
I cam up as a 7, I know what my faults are, like the easily distracted by my family since I work from home. But since I am aware of it I work on it all the time. :)
