Your Full Attention

"Anything worth doing is worth your full attention."~Michael Masterson

Do you multitask? Why?? It just takes you longer to do the things you are doing. Think about it.

In our "microwave" society, we put value on being able to do 100 things at the same time, but doesn't that just take away from each individual thing that we do? Doesn't it just let us get away with doing the work half-ass? Are you really giving each of those 100 things your FULL attention?

I say no, and it is doing harm to you and everyone who tries to multitask and even the people who we are multitasking for. We have become a society of "average is good enough." We have become a society that doesn't celebrate excellence but only quantity.

Part of the problem is also that we have lost the understanding of what is worth doing. Most high school students now say that what is important to them is "getting rich." Wow, have we lost our way or what?

Think about it, are the things that you are doing worth your full attention, or can you just do them and get by without a lot of thought...

"Anything worth doing is worth your full attention."
