In this week’s episode, I respond to a recent audience survey related to struggles faced by parents today. One overarching theme found in the results was the fact that many parents who are trying to build a side business or do something online are constantly battling with focus.

I share 10 ways I reestablish focus in my life and hopefully provide you a few techniques to set yourself on a path for completing more tasks and living a less stressful life.

The 10 ways to find your focus include:

1. Keep your attention on the next day or two
2. Organize your projects and work on one at a time
3. Don’t bite off more than you can chew
4. Keep a schedule that you can maintain
5. Pick some of the smaller tasks to gain confidence
6. Set short term, medium term, and long term goals
7. Use a system to keep track of what’s going on in your life
8. Limit the times you check and process email
9. Put yourself in an environment that is conducive to completing the task at hand
10. Exercise

In addition, this week’s 5 Things I Learned (5TIL) include:

1. The concept of virtual mailboxes and addresses and what it means for your business
2. Apple’s rumored purchase of Beats
3. Drones similarity to birds…in a bad way
4. Panera’s recent decision to implement kiosks instead of cashiers
5. Twitter’s rollout of its mute feature
