The concept of not having enough time to accomplish something is often a result of misplaced focus and distractions rather than a genuine lack of time. By examining this belief objectively, one realizes that the problem lies in the allocation of time and lack of concentration. Rather than chasing perfection, it is crucial to be intentional about focus and recognize when work reaches a sufficient level of quality. By creating a conducive work environment, eliminating distractions, and setting realistic deadlines, one can overcome the notion of insufficient time and maximize productivity. The challenge is to assess work output objectively, ensuring that the pursuit of perfection does not hinder progress.🐦 SOCIAL STUFF:Facebook ➔ https://www.facebook.com/vincent.a.ream/Twitter ➔ https://twitter.com/vincent_ream Podcast ➔ https://vincentream.com/podcast/ 📨 CONTACT:Email ➔ contact@vincentream.com Messenger ➔ m.me/106458781002852🔗 SUPPORT THE SHOW:Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/vincentream
