ELIMINATE HALF WORK -AT ALL COSTS

In our age of constant distraction, it’s stupidly easy to split our attention between what we should be doing and what society bombards us with. Usually we’re balancing the needs of messages, emails, and to–do lists at the same time that we are trying to get something accomplished. It’s rare that we are fully engaged in the task at hand.
This division of your time and energy is called “half–work.”
Here are some examples of half–work…
·         You start writing a report, but stop randomly to check your phone for no reason or to open up Facebook or Twitter.
·         You try out a new workout routine. Two days later, you read about another “new” fitness program and try a little bit of that. You make little progress in either program and so you start searching for something better.
·         Your mind wanders to your email inbox while you’re on the phone with someone.
Regardless of where and how you fall into the trap of half–work, the result is always the same: you’re never fully engaged in the task at hand, you rarely commit to a task for extended periods of time, and it takes you twice as long to accomplish half as much.

Half–work is reason why you’re able to get more done on your last day before vacation (when you really focus) than you do in the 2 weeks previous (when you’re constantly distracted).
 Most people deal with this problem all of the time and the best way to overcome it is to block out significant time to focus on one project and eliminate everything else.
Pick one exercise and make it only focus for the entire workout. (i.e. “Today is just for squats. Anything else is extra.”)
The complete elimination of distractions is the only way to get into deep, focused work and avoid fragmented sessions where you’re merely doing half–work.
How much more could you achieve if you did the work you needed to do, the way you needed to do it, and eliminated the half–work, half–wandering that we fill most of our days with?

Have you ever wondered why you work really well with some people and seem to clash with others? Why you can predict how some colleagues will react to situations, while others leave you completely confused? The truth is, it has a lot to do with individual personality type preferences.
