Need for focus

Like this article. With so many things to distract us and to waste our time.
Moreso we need to prioritise, focus and reflect constantly. If not our lives
will just pass away.

---------------------

As the pace of information delivery increases, we now have more
distractions than ever.

We have to juggle, multi-task and sometimes split our personality.
Herein lies the real problem about our lack of time.

We are all mere mortals and, on a personal level, can only focus on a
certain number of things at one time.

Focus is an exercise in prioritising and concentrating on certain tasks
at the expense of others.

At the company level, the buzzword is "core competence".

This was first defined by two eminent business thinkers, Professors C K
Prahalad and Gary Hamel in 1990.

It reflected the transition that companies were undergoing, from the
era of the diversified conglomerate in multiple unrelated businesses,
to the current era of focused and heavily synergistic businesses – as
manifested, most recently, in eBay's acquisition of Skype.

So, really, the world will get even smaller and the pace of life even
faster. But that should not be an excuse not to focus. - TODAY/sh
