Focus

So, people often get bombarded with the whole 'focus more, find motivation' spiel, right? But here's the deal: lack of focus and motivation usually come from the same root problem, and that problem is not having your priorities straight.

When someone else sets your priorities for you, it's like trying to find motivation in between your homework and dishes. Let's be real, it's hard to stay focused on something when there's a more exciting and fun thing just waltzing by, or flashing on your screen.

When you haven't really thought about what truly lights your fire and what you excel at, it's like being a magpie attracted to every shiny new activity out there. Plus, it's way too easy to do things just because you think you should, instead of doing what you genuinely want to do. Trust me, it's a recipe for distraction.

Focus on your priorities, then you have a reason to say no to unwanted obligations, and a reason to say yes to the big fun things.
