Have you noticed that the most expensive thing now is not time, but attention? Every day when you wake up, as soon as your phone lights up, your heart gets dragged along. Information, messages, tasks, all vying for your attention.
At the end of the day, even though I was very busy, I couldn't clearly say what I actually accomplished. What really makes a difference is who can maintain their focus and put it on the most critical tasks.
To keep your attention in your grasp, the key is to clearly understand the four directions where you should invest your energy every day.
First, it's about strategy. Set aside two to four hours every day to think about the path for the next three years, ensuring that each day's actions align with the end goal. With a clear direction, actions won't be chaotic.
Second, it's about people. No matter how clear the goals are, it requires the right people to implement them. We need to constantly identify, nurture, and inspire those who can move forward together, ensuring that the team's growth keeps pace with the strategic rhythm.
Third, it is about profit-sharing. The mechanism determines efficiency, and distribution determines trust. Whether a team can last depends on whether the rewards are fair and transparent, and whether contributions and returns are proportional. Only by clarifying this matter can everyone have the motivation to continue investing.
Fourth, it is boundaries. Trivial matters and noise can easily erode attention. Learn to filter information, clarify the scope, and delegate irrelevant messages to others. Set aside focused time each day, even if it's just two hours, to allow energy to recharge.
When attention is focused on these four things, energy will not flow chaotically, the rhythm will become smoother, and many complex matters will naturally start to become clear.
