You Really Do Have Time

One of the most often heard questions from  people in business is “where will I find the time?!?!”  As an instructor, I hear this question in nearly every course.  People constantly feel that they do not have time to learn new skills, focus on new concepts or add new practices to their business.  I fully understand.  I’ve been on a challenging journey for the past few years of finding ways to become more productive, less stressed, and get more control in my life.  

From this journey, I’ve internalized one powerful truth – I have ultimate control over my time.  I choose how I spend it.  I have wasted far too much of my time with distractions and on things that have no benefit in my life or in the lives of others.  One of the many techniques that I’ve adopted is the control of distractions.  And the newest release of Apple’s Focus Time features has been a gift in controlling my digital distractions.  

The Apple release of OS Monterey, WatchOS 8, and iOS/iPad OS 15 have included Focus Time as a feature that allows me to customize a single action that will control how many interruptions I have based on location, time, activity, or other factors.  The video tutorial below is a review of this system and how to set up and utilize this powerful tool.
