Personal issues were pulling his focus away from work&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_line_He_was_not_getting_tasks_done_to_his_satisfaction_because_of_the_multi-tasking_he_was_doing\"><\/span>Bottom line: He was not getting tasks done to his satisfaction because of the multi-tasking he was doing.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Multitasking, or <strong>focusing<\/strong> on several tasks at once, is a big buzz word in the <strong>business world<\/strong>, but it&#8217;s not really effective for getting into a <strong>zone focus<\/strong>. You can&#8217;t multi-task as an athlete&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? When multi-tasking, you&#8217;re switching your focus back and forth between tasks, which is ineffective. It&#8217;s similar to a batter focusing on the pitcher and the 3rd base coach or worrying about getting a hit at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to a <strong>zone focus <\/strong>is narrowing your focus on one task&#8211;at a time. The batter should only focus on the seeing the ball well and not other mental interference. The gymnast should only think about one section of the routine at a time, not the score she wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often <strong>routines<\/strong> are a great way to focus your mind in a serial fashion. When you have a preshot routine for batting, golf shots, or serving, it helps you focus on the important cues for execution in a step-by-step fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one is perfect with their <strong>concentration<\/strong> and you will become distracted at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you become distracted or start to focus on too many performance cues, you must recognize this, stop, and refocus on the ingredients of your routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to Bob&#8230; he was unable to complete his work because he was trying to focus on too much at one time. This is similar to athletes who over think their performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn how to harness the power of a <strong>zone focus<\/strong>, become a member of my online mental training program at Peaksports Network.
